Liverpool needs to get the supposed $193M asking price down, and by a fair amount.Jarell Quansah (Bayer Leverkusen)Liverpool has no current plans to sign Jarell Quansah this summer, according to BBC Sport.That's despite the Reds holding a buy-back clause after selling the defender to Bayer Leverkusen last year, and the recent injury to Joe Gomez leaving options at the back depleted before the new season begins.Liverpool has a buy-back clause on Jarell Quansah(Image: Getty)According to reports in Germany earlier this summer, the Reds inserted a buy-back clause when Quansah made the move to Leverkusen, which would have made him available for $93M (€80M) this summer. However, that clause will reportedly come down further next year, when Quansah would be available to Liverpool for $70M (€60M).Liverpool.com says: Quansah is obviously someone to keep an eye on, and Liverpool simply can't go into the new season with just its current options at center-back, so someone needs to be added.If those reports about Quansah's clause coming down in price next year are true, then that would obviously be more appealing to the Reds, but they can't let another summer go by without addressing the issues at the back.
