Despite wanting a higher fee, Liverpool is likely to pay around £30 million for Quansah's transfer to Leverkusen. This is lower than the £40 million the Reds initially wanted. Once Quansah's deal is completed, Liverpool has already lined up replacements and sees Guehi as their top target, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

According to Romano, Guehi has been on Liverpool's shortlist for months and is highly regarded by the club, as well as other Premier League teams. Crystal Palace is open to selling Guehi, who is entering the final year of his contract. The Eagles initially asked for over £60 million when Newcastle United was interested in signing him last summer, but the price has dropped significantly since then.

If Liverpool signs Guehi, it would be a significant upgrade over Quansah and a good piece of business in the transfer market. The move would also follow the recent transfer of defender Jeremie Frimpong from Palace to Liverpool, and the upcoming signing of Florian Wirtz. The strong relationship between the two clubs suggests that there may be more transfers between them in the future.

Additionally, Romano mentions that Diomandé could be a potential replacement for Guehi at Crystal Palace.
