A Liverpool defender has dramatically scrapped a proposed £30m transfer in a shock U-turn that’s left the Reds stunned. With the deal reportedly close to completion, the last-minute reversal could now force Liverpool into a rethink of their summer transfer priorities.
Liverpool are set to get a move on in their efforts to sell a few players in the coming weeks as they push towards balancing their books this summer.
Their transfer spend is set to touch the £200m mark once they complete the deals to sign Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez, and the club will now focus on a few outgoing transfers.
Jarell Quansah is set to join Bayer Leverkusen in the coming days, but another Liverpool defender has now stunningly done a U-turn on leaving the Reds in the ongoing transfer window.

Liverpool are open to selling the centre-back, with as many as seven Premier League clubs interested in getting their hands on him.
The Reds were looking to earn a £30m fee from his departure, but it seems the defender has other ideas.
Gomez has looked back at his last ten years at Liverpool and indicated that he has plans to stay at Anfield.
“10 years ago, as a kid moving from south east London to Liverpool, I couldn’t even imagine looking this far into the future. Looking back now, I’m full of gratitude & take so much pride in being a part of this club and city”, Gomez wrote on Instagram.
“No denying the challenges along the way, but embracing them to grow as both a player and a person is something I’ve always tried to do & I’m grateful for all the support in trying to do that.
“It’s been a blessing to be a part of the different dressing rooms and getting to create such special memories over the years with so many great players & staff.
“I felt it was important to share my thanks to you all for the support throughout the years, it’s always meant the world, and I will never take it for granted.
“A decade in red… and still hungry to keep going.”
