The Carragher quote is from a clickbait article written 25th February 2022.
Carragher's huge claim, was that Konsa had made a "huge" difference to the side.

Exclusive: Aston Villa to listen to offers for regular starter hailed 'Brilliant' by Carragher

Sources: Aston Villa to listen to offers for Ezri Konsa after 'huge' Jamie Carragher claim

Aston Villa will listen to offers for Ezri Konsa this summer as Steven Gerrard intensifies his overhaul of the squad, Football Insider has learned.

This site revealed on Monday (21 February) that the Midlands giants have made Liverpool defender Joe Gomez their “number one priority” ahead of the main window this year.

A Villa source has told Football Insider that Konza’s future at the club is now up in the air going into the final months of the season.

Manager Steven Gerrard is not convinced by the reliability and consistency of the defender, 24, despite him being a mainstay of the starting XI.

Gerrard wanted a new centre-back in January but Liverpool were not willing to sell or loan top target Gomez.

Villa decided to hold off until the summer on spending big on a defender and instead recruited Calum Chambers on a free from Arsenal to replace Axel Tuanzebe following the termination of his Man United loan.

Money will be set aside to strengthen a back line that has conceded 37 goals from 24 Premier League matches this season.

Konsa and Tyrone Mings have been the established central defensive pair for Villa during most of their three seasons back in the Premier League.

Indeed, Konsa was hailed a “brilliant defender” by Jamie Carragher on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football programme in March of last year.

The former Liverpool centre-back claimed the centre-back had made a “huge difference” and “I can’t talk enough about how impressed I’ve been with him defensively”.

Konsa has made 21 Premier League starts among 23 appearances in all competitions for Villa this season.

He has missed the last two matches due to a suspension

I think Sid is probably a more reliable source than Football Insider, to be fair.

Perhaps, depends on the origin of this specious link.

He's immense but also linked with pretty much every top Champions League Club aswell.

I don’t think Abraham would be worth the money we’d have to pay to get him from Roma. The money could be better spent elsewhere and at better value.

How many players have come from Portugal recently and settled really well? Samedo, Moutinho, Neves, Sa (all Wolves), Dias, Cancelo and Silva (Man City), Jota, Diaz (Liverpool), Fernandes (Man United). And that's just scraping the surface.

+ Tammy’s stock his high so they’ll be looking for fee up towards Jacks to sell him, that ship sailed the day Lampard got the Chelsea gig
There are other strikers.  I’d leave Tammy well alone.

Luiz + a load of cash (not Matty) might swing it.

Article suggests they want a quick deal soon so as to plan their window better, similar to Barcelona with Coutinho. Besides he would love playing with Suarez and Lewandowski!

At least we are being linked with better players these days.

I think its sentimental value with Tammy, looking back to glories of 2019. But that ship has sailed. If he hadnt played for us so well previously im not sure we’d be on about him more than a range of other strikers playing here or abroad.
