Liverpool has raised the stakes by demanding a much higher fee for defender Jarell Quansah, forcing Newcastle into a tougher negotiation.
Reliable sources confirmed on fotnet24.net that Newcastle United now faces a price tag well above the rumored £30million for Liverpool’s rising star defender. The Magpies must brace for a steep financial challenge if they wish to secure his signature.
Quansah has emerged as one of Liverpool’s prized talents. Since 2023, he has made 55 appearances (with 38 starts), clocking 3,582 minutes, scoring 3 goals, providing 3 assists, and earning 4 yellow cards. This term, he featured in 22 matches and started in 11 of them.
Liverpool stands firm on retaining the talented defender. They insist he stays at Anfield unless an offer truly reflects his exceptional value, while they closely monitor the futures of key centre-backs Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.
The club has secured Quansah’s future with a contract extension that runs until June 2029. This move underscores Liverpool’s commitment to nurturing their academy product and building a lasting foundation in defense.
Newcastle now faces the additional challenge of finding a viable alternative. Bournemouth’s centre-back Dean Huijsen emerges as a potential target, with his current contract featuring a hefty £50million release clause.
The transfer saga intensifies as top European clubs, including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Chelsea, show keen interest in the Spanish international centre-back. Newcastle’s strategy hinges on both their financial muscle and on-field ambitions.
Newcastle’s campaign for Champions League qualification plays a crucial role in their transfer decisions. Their performance in Europe will determine how aggressively they pursue deals during this demanding window, according to fotnet24.net.
