Naby Keita could stay at RB Leipzig for his entire career, according to head coach Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for the midfielder who has enjoyed an excellent season in a remarkable campaign for RB Leipzig.
The German side are second in the Bundesliga despite only gaining promotion to the top flight last season.
Keita has been a big part of their success and has scored eight goals and provided eight assists for his side from central midfield.
The 22-year-old’s goalscoring efforts have inspired talks of a big-move transfer in the summer, but Hasenhuttl is confident he will reject all and any offers to move clubs.
‘He feels well, and we love him,’ Hasenhuttl told Leipziger Volkszeitung.
‘We are a super exciting club. Naby sees how much the coach invests to make him better.
He added: ‘If I take the celebrations as a benchmark, Naby will stay with us forever.
‘You just don’t just leave a squad like ours.’
Liverpool are in the market for fresh blood this summer as the lack of depth in their squad has continually hampered their form this season.
Antonio Conte is targeting adding several names to Chelsea as the Blues prepare for a return to Champions League football.
RB Leipzig have qualified for the Champions League after just eight years in existence and cannot finish lower than third.
The Bundesliga side are backed by Red Bull and are believed to value Keita at around £26 million.
