As a result, Liverpool are expected to go into the market for his replacement, with Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi identified as a potential option.

The England international is out of contract at Selhurst Park next summer, but it remains to be seen if the Reds will actively pursue a deal in this window.

Quansah's departure would leave Liverpool with only three senior centre-backs in their squad.



Virgil van Dijk is a mainstay in the starting XI, with Ibrahima Konate operating alongside him at the heart of the Reds defence more often than not.

Joe Gomez will be hoping to get more minutes with Liverpool next season, after enduring an injury-hit campaign that saw him make his final appearance back in February.

Gomez will look to get more than the 17 appearances he managed last term, but the potential transfer business could put that into question.

If Liverpool were to sign Guehi as Quansah's replacement, the expectation would be that Palace's current captain would compete with Konate to partner Van Dijk at centre-back

Joe Gomez may have a decision to make on his Liverpool future

The France international is out of contract next summer and has been linked with a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer if an extension cannot be agreed.

This week saw Gomez mark the 10th anniversary of his arrival as a Liverpool player following his own move from Charlton Athletic in 2015.

With the potential for plenty of change at centre-back for the Reds, over these next 12 months, Gomez could be presented with a major decision on what to do next for his future.

Gomez himself is contracted at Anfield until the summer of 2027

If Liverpool were to go on and sign one or even two new central defenders this summer, then it would be understandable if Gomez was to give himself a decision to make, regardless of what may or may not happen with Konate's contract situation.
