Fabrizio Romano update confirms NEW Liverpool target | OneFootball

Romano has revealed that Bayer Leverkusen are seriously considering bringing on Jarell Quansah. According to Romano he is one of two options for the German side with Loic Bade being the other, incidentally Bade is someone Liverpool also like.

Now, Liverpool don't want to sell Quansah. However, they will consider selling him for the right price. What that could be remains to be seen.

However, one thing is clear, if Liverpool are to lose him, the Reds will immediately be focused on a new target and it won't be a no.9 but it will have to be a defender instead.

Without Quansah, Liverpool will have just Joe Gomez as a back-up option behind Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate. Wataru Endo could potentially fill in and play as a makeshift centre-back, but that's not going to be enough for a side competing for the Premier League title.

Gomez himself is also considering his future, so there's every chance he could also leave the club this summer.

Not to mention Konate is yet to extend his contract, which expires at the end of next season.

And that's why with Wirtz coming in, signing a centre-back might be the biggest priority for the Reds.

Who the centre-back target could be is an interesting one to ponder. Marc Guehi has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool and he will definitely be on the club's radar.

Jarrad Branthwaite will be an option for the Reds, too.

Bade as we mentioned could end-up going to Liverpool.

Other names to keep an eye on are Sikou Niakate and Konstantinos Koulierakis.
