Liverpool would be far from in any rush to usher Jarell Quansah out of the exit door this summer, but the Reds defender didn't play as much as he might have liked in the season just gone.
Hooked at halftime at Ipswich Town in Arne Slot's first game in charge, Quansah went on to start only three more Premier League games.
Like Harvey Elliott, another who didn't get the minutes he desired last year, Quansah is a huge talent.
And it is not only Quansah where Liverpool has some question marks at center-back.
Virgil van Dijk, of course, has signed a new contract that will keep him at Anfield until 2027.
But Ibrahima Konate is set to enter the final year of his deal as things stand.
Joe Gomez, meanwhile, could have joined Newcastle last summer when a deal in principle was agreed with the Magpies that would have seen Anthony Gordon move the other way in a separate transaction for PSR purposes.
