Liverpool are reportedly eyeing a reunion with former centre-back Jarell Quansah, following the shock news that Ibrahima Konate is likely to leave the club. There has been ongoing talk surrounding Konate signing a contract extension all season long, but it now looks as though he could be off, following a surprise update from Ben Jacobs on Thursday night: “Exclusive: Ibrahima Konate is expected to leave Liverpool.

According to TEAMtalk, the Reds have “accepted” that the Frenchman is off, and they are now “internally discussing” bringing Quansah back to Anfield, having joined Bayer Leverkusen permanently last summer. Should Liverpool bring Jarell Quansah back to Anfield?

He has every ingredient a centre-back for this club should have. Now the last parts should be consistency in his performances.” Quansah is still young and has more time to develop, but ultimately, Liverpool cannot be spending £69m on a centre-back this summer, when wingers, central midfielders and possibly another right-back and striker are more important.
