Liverpool fans have reacted all but unanimously after an update on Jarell Quansah amid the club’s ongoing interest in Newcastle’s star striker Alexander Isak.
Quansah has played a rotational role under Arne Slot this season, has proven he can be relied upon at centre-back with 22 appearances to his name.
But it seems his future at Anfield may not be as secure as initially thought. Mick Brown, former Man United chief scout, exclusively told Football Insider that Quansah could leave Liverpool and be sent out on loan in the summer to gain more playing time.
Meanwhile, Liverpool want to sign a new centre-back this summer, amid uncertainty surrounding Virgil van Dijk’s future and it appears that Quansah’s situation could be impacted by that.
However. the latest update on the youngster’s potential move has sent Liverpool fans into a frenzy, sparking debate over what the club should do next.
Newcastle set to target Jarell Quansah this summer
According to Martin Hardy of The Times, Newcastle are set to target Quansah this summer, and they believe a deal worth around £30 million including add ons could be enough to “tempt” Liverpool.
The Magpies are believed to be in the market for a centre-back after having multiple bids for Marc Guehi rejected last summer.
Liverpool supporters push for Isak-Quansah exchange amid transfer talk
The news of Newcastle’s interest in Quansah saw many Liverpool fans suggesting that a swap deal involving the young defender and Newcastle’s talisman, Isak, could be the perfect solution.
Liverpool view Isak as the ‘perfect’ signing to lead Arne Slot’s front line, and with good reason. The Swedish striker’s impressive tally of 23 goals this season, including a strike against Slot’s side in the Carabao Cup final, has made him a standout target for the Reds.
Football Insider has previously revealed that Liverpool are well-positioned to make a move for Isak and would be able to meet the expected transfer fee, which is likely to be a British transfer record.
In light of this, many supporters are now calling for a swap deal, with some fans suggesting that Liverpool could offer Quansah to secure Isak’s services. One fan commented, “Yeah, add on Alexander Isak and we’ll give you £30m and it’s a deal” while another reacted with, “If that gets us Isak, then goodbye and good riddance”.
