Everton eye shock Jarell Quansah transfer as £30m Liverpool twist emerges
Everton are reportedly keen on securing the services of Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah this summer.
The Toffees are in hunt of defensive reinforcements and have now turned their attentions to a centre-back at their arch rivals.
The 22-year-old is subject to interest from a number of clubs with an Anfield exit on the cards.
Liverpool want £30m to part ways with Quansah
Liverpool are understood to be willing to consider offers in order to part ways with the 22-year-old come the end of the season, per Caught Offside.
The Reds value the Englishman at £30million and if an offer arrives in that region, they would be open to a permanent sale.
Along with the Toffees, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Brentford are all contemplating making a move for the defender who can also play at full-back.

| Crystal Palace | 12th | 43 |
| Everton | 13th | 38 |
| Manchester United | 14th | 38 |
The Reds are not expected to be overly keen to do business with their arch rivals Everton, amid their interest in the defender.
They would likely prefer selling him to a club abroad and it’s understood that Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund may also enter the race to secure his services.
As the Anfield outfit have depth in defence, they are likely to allow Quansah to leave this summer.
Everton are expected to face challenges in signing Quansah
Quansah would be a strong signing for Everton, offering youth, composure, and defensive solidity at centre-back.
At 22, his ball-playing ability, physicality and Premier League experience with Liverpool make him a promising long-term investment for Everton’s backline, which has lacked depth and consistency.
His potential to develop into a top-tier defender aligns with Everton’s need for young talent to build around.
However, negotiating with rivals Liverpool presents a near-impossible challenge.
The deep-seated animosity between the clubs, coupled with Liverpool’s reluctance to strengthen a rival, makes a transfer highly unlikely.
While they may be looking to cash in on the defender, the growing interest in his services means they’re not forced to get into business with the Blues.
