Liverpool not pursuing Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back Nnamdi Collins | OneFootball

Liverpool are not pursuing a move for Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back Nnamdi Collins, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Collins has attracted interest from several clubs following his performances in the Bundesliga this season.

The 22-year-old made his senior debut for Germany in September’s 2-0 defeat at Slovakia in the World Cup qualifiers, showcasing his progress.

Nnamdi is reportedly open to leaving Frankfurt, and they have placed a €40 million valuation on him.

While Liverpool are not currently in the race to sign him, they are still exploring the market for a new centre-back.

Ibrahima Konate is yet to sign a contract extension, prompting the club to look for alternatives if he leaves at the end of the season.

Academy graduate Jarell Quansah has been linked with a return to Liverpool. The England international joined Bayer Leverkusen for €35m last summer.

The Merseyside giants signed talented French centre-back Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes in January, but he will only join them this summer.

Liverpool’s failure to qualify for the Champions League could impact their ability to sign a top-class centre-back.

The Reds are reportedly prioritising a move for RB Leipzig dazzling winger Yan Diomande due to their lack of quality in wide areas this term.

If Liverpool sign the Ivorian, who is valued at €100m, they may not have sufficient funds left to sign a top-rated centre-back.
