Liverpool Determined to Retain Quansah Amid Increased Valuation

Liverpool remain firm in their commitment to retaining young defender Jarell Quansah despite ongoing interest from Newcastle United. Quansah, who has made 22 appearances this season, is seen as a vital part of Liverpool's future plans, especially with the potential departure of senior defenders like Virgil Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Newcastle, who previously valued Quansah at £50 million, are reportedly renewing their interest in him as they seek to bolster their defensive lineup, but Liverpool has no intention of selling their academy graduate. Quansah's development has been recognized with a long-term contract until 2029, and he has been called up to the England squad. Meanwhile, Liverpool is close to signing Chelsea target Milos Kerkez, indicating their strategic planning for squad reinforcements. Any potential deal for Quansah would face significant resistance from Liverpool, who view him as crucial for their defensive future.
