Barcelona could turn to RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita after seeing their move for Philippe Coutinho hit the buffers.

Liverpool have rejected every approach from the Spanish side and it now looks as though the Brazilian will stay for at least one more year.

Catalan paper Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona have now turned their attention to Keita, who was himself a Liverpool target for much of the summer.

Leipzig turned down all of Liverpool's offers and the reds subsequently gave up their pursuit.

It is unclear whether Barcelona would have better luck.

"I have not played this weekend with Nice because I do not have my head set on football," he told Mundo Deportivo . "My dream of going to Barça has been broken and this, for me, is terrible."
