This is why it didn’t come as much of a surprise to see several centre-backs being linked with an Anfield switch over the last few weeks.

And, while the Merseyside outfit may have a couple of options on the table, there’s one that stands out from the rest regarding who’s the best player to sign.

Konstantinos Koulierakis has been linked with a move away from Wolfsburg for some time now.

In fact, Liverpool have even been linked with a move for Koulierakis in the past, with the Reds looking for a young prospect to fill the void that Quansah has left behind.

Indeed, Giovanni Leoni is another option that Liverpool could explore, but with his preferred destination being Italy, a deal could be hard to agree upon.

At the moment, Marc Guehi and Leoni are the two centre-backs who feel like the most likely players to make a move to Liverpool this summer.

Of course, only time will tell what the future has in store, but with Koulierakis already having plenty of experience in the Bundesliga and still being just 21 years old, he seems like the best option of the three.
