Liverpool has had a fantastic start to the 2024-25 season. They are presently leading the Premier League standings with six wins from their first seven games.
Arne Slot’s favored central defense partnership this season is Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk, and the tandem has played a key role in the club’s recent success.
However, they are apparently planning to offer Jarell Quansah a new contract, indicating that he will play a role in Slot’s long-term plans.
According to The Athletic, sporting director Richard Hughes wants to reward the 21-year-old for his excellent improvement by offering him a new contract.
So far, the youthful defender has appeared 35 times for the Reds in all competitions, scoring three goals and assisting three others.
His strong success in 2023-24 earned him a call-up to England’s provisional team for the Euros, as well as transfer interest from Newcastle United in the summer.
The Magpies sought to sign Quansah as part of a deal that also included Anthony Gordon joining the Merseyside club.
However, Liverpool made it clear that the 21-year-old was not for sale, so Newcastle turned their attention to other prospects.
This season, Quansah has only made one start in the English Premier League, against Ipswich Town.
However, according to the most recent sources, the Reds place a high value on the young centre-back and include him in Arne Slots’ future plans.
