Assuming Quansah departs, that will leave Liverpool with just three senior center-backs in Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Joe Gomez.

But The Athletic claims that Liverpool’s longest-serving player is unlikely to leave this window.

The outlet states in a detailed transfer overview that Gomez "remains a part of Liverpool’s plans as they value his versatility."

The 28-year-old has struggled with injury issues for several years and did not play a single Premier League game after the turn of the year, a problem that ultimately required surgery.

Gomez was named in the matchday squad for the final two games of the term and was a central figure in the post-season celebrations as the Reds lifted the Premier League trophy at Anfield.

Liverpool.com understands the Reds were open to the possibility of Gomez leaving at the beginning of the transfer window, but Quansah’s departure would naturally impact any choice on his future.

The ex-Charlton Athletic man came into the side for an important stint in December when Konate was injured and played six consecutive Premier League games, a run in which Liverpool took 14 points.

Gomez, who did make 51 appearances in Jurgen Klopp's final campaign, has only started more than half of Liverpool’s Premier League games in one of the last seven seasons - that came in 2019/20
