Keita starts for Schalke tonight in what is being dubbed his farewell match as talks with Liverpool continue.

Liverpool agreed a deal to sign him in the summer but want to bring him in this month after selling Philippe Coutinho.

But Rangnick stresses that the player is keen on staying put until the end of the season.

"[Naby Keita] wants to leave us in the summer,” he said.

“He will play with us until the end of the season. He is starting today. There isn't more to say."
