Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool centre-back Jarell Quansah should complete his move to Bayer Leverkusen “very soon”.
Once that happens, according to Romano, we could see something of a domino effect in the defenders market, with Liverpool interested in signing Marc Guehi.
The Crystal Palace central defender has shone in the Premier League and with the England national team in recent times, and seems ideal for Liverpool as a replacement and upgrade for Quansah.
Meanwhile, Palace could also be set to target the signing of Sporting Lisbon’s talented young centre-back Ousmane Diomande to replace Guehi, according to Romano’s X post below…

Guehi would be a fine signing to strengthen this Liverpool squad, potentially giving the Reds their long-term replacement for the ageing Virgil van Dijk.
Marc Guehi transfer looks like a no-brainer for Liverpool
On top of that, LFC have Ibrahima Konate in the final year of his contract, so there could soon be a need to replace him at Anfield.
Marca have reported on Real Madrid being keen on Konate, and if he doesn’t sign a new deal soon then we could see them swoop for the Frenchman on a free transfer.
That would be a big blow for Liverpool as Konate has performed well for the club, but in Guehi they’d be signing another of the top defensive players in the Premier League.
