Liverpool haven't given up hope on agreeing £60m centre-back deal | OneFootball

Liverpool have been looking for a replacement for Jarell Quansah ever since he left.

The £35m move to Leverkusen was a brilliant piece of business from the club, but his departure has left a hole in Arne Slot's squad and it is imperative that a new defender joins before the season starts.

One such target is Marc Guehi at Crystal Palace who has an asking price of around £50m, despite his contract expiring next summer. Liverpool are unsure whether to proceed with a deal for him.

Meanwhile, another move which Liverpool were previously interested might still be an option to explore and he would offer an interesting dynamic to Arne Slot's side if he joined the Reds' squad.

Zabarnyi to PSG is not a done-deal yet

Liverpool have been heavily interested in Bournemouth defenders this summer and once it was known that Dean Huijsen would be heading to Real Madrid, Illya Zabarnyi joined the shortlist.

His main admirers are Paris Saint-Germain, and Liverpool were only contemplating a move for a centre-back before Quansah left, focusing instead on other areas such as Milos Kerkez at left-back.

But now that his move to Merseyside has been confirmed, an approach for the Ukrainian is up next.

It has been assumed for weeks that Zabarnyi was destined to move to France, but a report from TBR Football suggests that the Reds might still have a chance to swoop in and hijack the transfer.
