According to an update by reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Jarell Quansah is the subject of interest from Bayer Leverkusen. The Bundesliga giants have been keen on bolstering their defensive unit in the summer transfer window by signing a centre-back after parting ways with Jonathan Tah as a free agent. So, the 22-year-old Liverpool defender emerged as a target for Die Werkself.
The Englishman is on the cusp of joining Bayer Leverkusen in the summer transfer window, with the Bundesliga giants securing an agreement over a fee worth €30 million plus add-ons. The highly-rated defender will sign a five-year contract, which will be valid until June 30, 2030. Meanwhile, Quansah will undergo his medical checks next week.
Jarell Quansah is the latest academy graduate to make his mark since becoming a first-team player for Liverpool. A native of Warrington, the 22-year-old spent his formative years in England and was with Liverpool throughout his formative years after joining the Merseyside club in 2008.
The highly-rated English defender made his first-team bow for Liverpool at the onset of the 2023/24 season, and he has come leaps and bounds in the last two years. Quansah has turned out over 50 times thus far for the Merseyside outfit while chipping in with three goals and three assists. However, the youngster may have played his final game for Liverpool.
Widespread reports have suggested for weeks that Jarell Quansah has been ready to leave Liverpool, with the Reds holding out for a “substantial offer”. The highly-rated defender’s next destination will be Bayer Leverkusen, with the Bundesliga giants on the verge of sealing a deal worth €30 million plus add-ons.
The 22-year-old Englishman agreed to join Bayer Leverkusen earlier this week, and the two clubs have now finalised the agreement for a move. The Bundesliga giants have been keen on signing a centre-back this summer after parting ways with Jonathan Tah as a free agent. So, Quansah emerged as their top target for the summer transfer window.
While widespread reports have suggested that Liverpool wanted to keep Quansah, he has been keen on securing regular game time. So, an adventure in the Bundesliga is on the cards, with Bayer Leverkusen set to complete a deal worth €30 million plus add-ons next week after he completes his medical tests. The highly-rated defender will sign a five-year contract, which will be valid until June 30, 2030.
