Liverpool are set to pull off a stunning transfer coup by beating Newcastle to the signing of a £40m England star. In a dramatic twist that few saw coming, the Reds swooped in late to hijack the move, leaving the Magpies reeling. With both clubs looking to strengthen this summer, this deal could be the first major turning point in the window.
The Merseyside giants have made a huge splash in the market already with their pursuit of Florian Wirtz, who is set to join the Reds for a British record transfer fee.
Liverpool want to do more and are prepared to move on a few players to clear up space in their squad and wage bill for the arrival of new signings in the coming weeks.
Jarell Quansah could be sold if a club cough up around £40m, and Liverpool are prepared to replace him with a defender Newcastle have been chasing.

The Reds are set to beat Newcastle to England star Marc Guehi’s signature
Marc Guehi is in the final year of his contract and will leave Crystal Palace in the ongoing summer transfer window.
Newcastle have been chasing him since last summer, and believe they have the edge in the race to sign the defender ahead of next season.
However, Liverpool have joined the race, and are set to push hard to sign the centre-back in the coming weeks and months.
According to DaceOCKOP, Liverpool have identified Guehi as one of their priority targets for the ongoing summer window.
Liverpool were in the market for a defender even before Quansah was on the chopping block, and Guehi is the player they want.
Crystal Palace are expected to sell the England star for somewhere around £40m rather than losing him on a free transfer at the end of next season.
