Liverpool are lining up several deals this summer, but with the possibility of turning to the centre-back market, recent reports claim that the Reds have already agreed personal terms for a potential signing.
The defensive line at Anfield is set for some huge changes going into the next campaign under Andoni Iraola, as Ibrahima Konate walked away from the club as a free agent, while Andy Robertson has joined Premier League rivals Tottenham.
Robertson's departure may have come at the right time after an impressive career with the club, but Konate's move came as quite the blow, having played all but two Premier League games last season.
Jeremy Jacquet's arrival should soften the blow somewhat, though it remains to be seen how well he adjusts to life in the Premier League, alongside Giovanni Leoni's return from injury.
Liverpool's focus on the market may be on other positions to start with as a result of that, but centre-back remains a potential area to strengthen in.
With that in mind, a potential return for Jarell Quansah could well be on the cards.

As Liverpool face the prospect of entering the market for another centre-back, there could be a familiar face back at Anfield in the form of Quansah.
According to the Liverpool Echo, personal terms with the former Reds defender have already been agreed in the possible event of him coming back to Merseyside.
Quansah joined Bayer Leverkusen for £35 million last summer, but Liverpool inserted a buy-back clause in the deal worth in the region of £55 million.
While it's unclear whether the club will trigger that clause, as it stands, it appears as though the focus will be on strengthening other positions first.
The wide areas are particularly crucial with Yan Diomande being heavily linked as an option Liverpool are interested in signing this summer.
However, depending on assessments made later in the window, Quansah could now return and without a protracted transfer negotiation to go with it.

When Quansah left Liverpool last season, he made it clear that his goal was to play more football and to earn plenty of first-team experience.
Aside from some minor injury problems, the Liverpool academy graduate certainly managed that as he made 44 appearances across all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen.
The centre-back was a regular for the side as they went on to record a sixth-placed finish in the Bundesliga with Europa League qualification secured for next season.

Quansah picked up five goals in that time too, and impressed enough to earn a call-up to the England squad for the 2026 World Cup this summer.
Whether that would be enough to earn a move back to Liverpool remains to be seen, but other clubs may well try their chances at landing the defender instead.
