It was always obvious that one of Quansah or Joe Gomez was going to leave Anfield this season, as Arne Slot chose to play Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk in most of Liverpool’s games.

Sky Germany adds that there are ‘bonuses’ within the deal which take the total cost of €30million (£25.6million) for his transfer even higher, should they be met.

Although the Reds would have to pay an extra nine or so million to bring the Englishman back in the future, if he gets a few years of development under his belt, it could end up being one of the smartest moves the club could have made.

Many other names have also been linked with an Anfield switch, such as Marc Guehi, but until the future of Ibrahima Konate is sorted, it’s unlikely that a decision will be made on the Crystal Palace captain just yet.

If Liverpool did bring Guehi in, it feels like there would have to be some sort of guarantee that he’d be the first in line to take over Van Dijk’s spot in the team once he leaves or retires.
