Liverpool’s defensive lineup is under scrutiny as Nottingham Forest reportedly expresses interest in signing centre-back Jarell Quansah for around £29m.
This potential loss would exacerbate the defensive crisis facing new manager Arne Slot, who has enjoyed a successful start to his tenure at Anfield.
Quansah’s Uncertain Future
Quansah, valued at £29.7m, has struggled to secure a starting spot under Slot, starting only two Premier League matches since August.
With rumours of a transfer swirling, it’s unclear whether Liverpool can afford to let him go, given the uncertainty surrounding other defenders.
