Liverpool has to do with the hot button futures of MO Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, but Anfield Chiefs could soon make a decision to make Jarell Quansah
Liverpool is braced to receive an £ 30 million offer from Newcastle for the young defender Jarell Quansah, giving Anfield Chiefs a fourth transfer of headache. The Reds already have three major problems, with the deals of MO Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold that end this summer.
This week it was widely reported that Alexander-Arnold has already agreed personal conditions with Real Madrid, while Salah and Van Dijk have not committed themselves to new deals. The futures of the trio have been discussed throughout the season and with only the Premier League title that is left to play for, the focus on their situations is intensified.
In the meantime, Quansah has four years left of his contract after last season in the first Liverpool team. The 22-year-old 33 performances appeared in all competitions under Jurgen Klopp, with three goals.
Arne Slot used Quansah less this season, but turned to him for this month's Carabao Cup final when Alexander-Arnold was injured. In the first place a center-back, the prospect born in Warrington can also play as a right back.
Now the opponents of Liverpool in Wembley, Newcastle, see a movement for him after their famous 2-1 victory at Slot's Side. The Times reports that Quansah is a potentially target for the Magpies, who believe that an offer of £ 30 million plus add-ons could be sufficient to seduce Liverpool into a sale.
Ready to spend big after navigating Premier League profit and sustainability rules in recent transfer windows, Newcastle is planning to sign a straight-footed center-back for manager Eddie Howe. Quansah would have considerable support in senior figures in St James' Park.
Although the English Youth International, who still has to be covered at senior level despite two call-ups, struggled for regular playing time in the midst of Liverpool's dominant season in the Premier League, Slot is a great admirer of him-even after he had crocheted him during the opening day of the season.
“It says a lot about his mentality,” said the red boss after Quansah was mentioned in the latest team in England. “Last season I think everyone saw what a talent he is. Then this season started to start with him and I changed him as we all know against Ipswich. Ibou [Konate] And Virgil was and his such a strong combination that he didn't play much.
Does Liverpool have to sell Jarell Quansah for £ 30 million? 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 Paris Saint-Germain]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.”
