Liverpool are linked with an early return for Jarell Quansah from Leverkusen, with a £52.5m buy-back reportedly set for 2027. Scouts have watched recent games as centre-back plans and Konate’s contract loom.
Liverpool and Arsenal are monitoring Inter’s Alessandro Bastoni as a long-term option, with Barcelona also keen. Inter view him as ‘untouchable’ but could consider offers around €100m despite his deal to 2030.
Inter had a €15m bid for Ibrahima Konate rejected as Liverpool hold contract talks. Inter remain in contact and could move in the summer if no new deal is agreed.
Slot says Gakpo ‘needed’ his goal in the 5-2 West Ham win and has overthought decisions during a lean run. Ex-midfielder Jason McAteer calls him an ‘easy target’ despite his work rate and eight goals this season.
Slot rules Wirtz out for Wolves, hopes for return next week. Frimpong back but minutes to be managed amid three games in seven days. Gomez building fitness. Wolves report a fully fit squad.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s Nnamdi Collins wants a top-club move. Liverpool, his favourite club, have scouted him. The 22-year-old defender is valued around €40m and contracted until 2030.
Inter and Juventus assess moves for Alisson, 33, despite his contract to 2027. Italian reports cite Liverpool’s prior agreement for Giorgi Mamardashvili at around €34m, while Slot continues to start Alisson when fit.
Liverpool are monitoring Bayern’s Michael Olise and RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande to bolster wide options. A move for Olise is seen as unrealistic, while Leipzig could discuss Diomande at around €100m.
