"It's 100% clear that Naby Keita will play this year in Leipzig. "At the beginning of the transfer period that we said we would start with the same team and of the players we had last year no-one will go."For us, everyone can see how important Naby is for our game. It's 100% sure that he will be with RB Leipzig in the Champions League." Leipzig's excellence in the Bundesliga last season was aided by the brilliance of Keita, who scored eight goals and assisted seven as the top-tier newcomers stormed to a second-place league finish behind behemoths Bayern Munich.  And Keita's emergence of one of the most sought after players in European football comes as no surprise to his manager, who is looking forward to another "fantastic" season with the midfielder in his ranks. "When you play such a famous season as last year it is normal players get interest, that other clubs are watching us is normal," he said. "I said for all the players it is very important to stay together as it's the first time we play Champions League and that is a new situation for every one of us."He is more focused on us and has more fun now than last year. He knows this season it will be fantastic for us."</blockquote>
