According to British media talkSPORT, Liverpool may activate the buy-back clause for Quansah if Konaté is likely to leave the club.
Liverpool may activate the buy-back clause for Quansah if Konaté appears poised to leave Anfield.
Liverpool signed Jacquet on winter transfer deadline day, making him the club's second-most expensive defender, but their squad still appears thin.
If Liverpool proceeds with their planned personnel changes on July 1st, Jacquet will directly replace the departing Konaté.
Konaté's contract expires at the end of the season, at which point he will become a free agent, and several overseas clubs have expressed interest.
Furthermore, Liverpool may activate the buy-back clause to bring Quansah back from Bayer Leverkusen. Quansah left Liverpool last year for £35 million, and the club still retains the buy-back clause.
While Real Madrid's interest in Konaté has waned, their interest may reignite due to a lack of other compelling options.
