The Times reported that Liverpool may look for a replacement after Kanssa left the team, and the club showed interest in Crystal Palace's Mark Guy.

Kunsa, 22, fell to Liverpool's overall appearance pick, although he just renewed his new contract last year. However, with only 488 minutes of playing time in the Premier League, he is considering his future.

The two clubs will hold negotiations separately, but Leverkusen is expected to continue to talk with Liverpool about Kanssa's transfer.

Liverpool are not in a hurry to push Kanssa to the departure, but they are indeed interested in Crystal Palace's Guy. A transfer fee of about £40 million is required to make Liverpool consider selling him. Leverkusen will obviously try to sign him for a lower price.

Konat's contract has only the last 12 months left, and no breakthrough has been made in the renewal negotiations. In addition, there are reports that Real Madrid is interested in signing Conate for free next summer. Joe Gomez failed to get enough chances of playing due to injury last season.

Therefore, Liverpool's top leaders are considering how to strengthen the central defender position. Guy will turn 25 next month, with one year left on his existing contract. Liverpool expressed interest in Guy, but whether immediate action will be taken depends on the situation of players such as Kanssa. If Guy is free to transfer within the next 12 months, Liverpool may continue to watch his situation.
