Transfer negotiations are reportedly ongoing between Liverpool and Leverkusen over Jarell Quansah, the highly-rated defender. The clubs are believed to be some way apart on valuation, but dialogue is open as they look to strike a deal ahead of the run-in. Unconfirmed reports suggest both sides are hopeful of finding a resolution in the coming days - with other interested clubs said to be circling. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Liverpool are progressing without added pressure. Defensively, Liverpool are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.32 goals conceded per game. Someone like Jarell Quansah could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most. Reports suggest Liverpool are monitoring Luis Suarez, Joao Neves and Roland Sallai whereas Leverkusen have not been associated with other players at this stage.
