Fresh Liverpool contract drama could make Arne Slot’s mind up on £30m transfer

Jarell Quansah is the subject of interest of Newcastle, who is said to believe that an offer of £ 30 million plus add-ons is sufficient to praise the Center Achterweg away from Liverpool

Liverpool -Baas Arne Slot is confronted with a transfer dilemma after it turned out that Jarell Quansah has attracted interest from Newcastle. Quansah, 22, was recently admitted to Thomas Tuchel's first English team and watched the routine 3-0 victory of the Drie Leeuwen against Latvia of the bank on Monday.

The Center-Back has only received two starts this season in the Premier League, with the partnership of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate largely unbroken. But Quansah's versatility saw him set up on right back for the Carabao Cup final because of the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Coincidentally, the opponents of Liverpool from the final, Newcastle, would stand in line. The Times reports that the Sint-James' Park Chiefs believe that £ 30 million plus add-ons is a suitable offer.

The sale of a homegrown player would represent Pure Profit in the eyes of the Premier League profit and sustainability rules, but Liverpool will know that there is a dilemma on the horizon – one that could well decide whether Quansah should leave.

The elephant in the Chamber is not only that Van Dijk's future remains uncertain after entering the last three months of his contract – but that this summer Konate will only have one year in his deal.

It is said that Real Madrid is interested in the Frenchman, who can also be lured back to his hometown Paris, because PSG weigh a movement for a player with 15 months left over his deal. The Reds want Konate, 25, to remain, but they will be powerless if he decides to leave for a free transfer in July 2026.

The sale of Quansah would run the risk of leaving Liverpool to sign several new center backs for a period of 12 months, so that the basis of what lock and for him were built, shifting and before him Jurgen Klopp. The Dutchman is also a big fan of the 22-year-old, who leaves his mentality to bounce back from ruthlessly immersed on the opening day of the season on Ipswich.

“Last season I think everyone saw what a talent he is,” said the Liverpool manager after the recent call from Quansah in England. “Then this season started to start with him and I changed him as we all know against Ipswich. Ibou and Virgil were and are such a strong combination that he didn't play much.

Does Liverpool have to sell Jarell Quansah to Newcastle? Say in the commentary part.

“But every time he had to play, except perhaps the first one or two games, but then he had to play, you could see that he might no longer be a talent, because as a talent you have no setbacks, but the moment you get setbacks, it's about you and how you react.

“I think he has shown in his recent performances that he has outgrown as a talent. That is probably what Thomas Tuchel saw and also sees him giving him a call-up. He did the last few times he had to play for us and even in a position that he did not fully use as a right full-back. But in my opinion he also has the qualities to play that position.

“He is strong, he is fast, he is very comfortable with the ball and it gives us an extra quality when we play it that we saw [against PSG]In terms of set pieces because he was the one who was so far away from the US who qualified for the next round through the ball on the post because it was not offside.

“He showed mentality and that he had quality. That is all we knew when we saw him play last season.”
