Thanks for pointing that out.

You may also want to use a:visited:hover in this situation, which
will allow you to have the :hover take effect regardless of the
link state.

So for the op:

A:link {text-decoration: underline;
color: #09f;
background: transparent;
}

Then repeat with: visited, link:hover, visited:hover, active in
place of 'link' (in that order). And change the properties
accordingly.
