Jarell Quansah Completes Transfer to Bayer Leverkusen

Jarell Quansah has finished his transfer from Liverpool to Bayer Leverkusen. He passed his medical on Monday. The young English defender signed a long-term contract in Germany. The deal includes a buy-back option, which could let him return to Liverpool in the future.

A previous report confirmed that Liverpool can re-sign Jarell Quansah with a buy-back clause up to €70 million.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Quansah, 22, had his medical at Leverkusen. He is expected to sign a contract to stay until 2030. The transfer fee is about £30 million plus up to £5 million in bonuses. Liverpool can re-sign Quansah starting in 2027 for at least €60 million. That fee may increase with add-ons. Quansah recently helped England win the U21 European Championship. He is expected to replace Jonathan Tah, who left Leverkusen this summer to join rivals Bayern Munich.

Bayer Leverkusen are set to sign Jarell Quansah for an initial £30 million plus £5 million in bonuses, as confirmed by a previous report.

LIVERPOOL’S AND LEVERKUSEN’S CURRENT SITUATION

Liverpool won the 2024/25 Premier League season. They secured Champions League football but missed being competitive in every other competition. Quansah had limited chances after January. He started just one league game in the second half of the season. Bayer Leverkusen, under new manager Erik ten Hag, continue to strengthen after qualifying for the Champions League again. They finished second in the Bundesliga, two points behind champions Bayern Munich. They aim to compete for the title next season.

A previous report confirmed that Liverpool are preparing for the new Premier League season aiming for a top-four finish.

Bayer Leverkusen finished in top positions of the Bundesliga last season, according to a previous report.

WHAT NEXT FOR QUANSAH AND THE TWO CLUBS?

Quansah will join Leverkusen’s preseason immediately. He is expected to have an important role in defense. Leverkusen’s next match is in August for the DFP Pokal, a key test before the league and European campaigns. Liverpool have control over Quansah’s future with their buy-back clause. They will monitor his growth as they look for defensive help in the Premier League and Champions League next season. Both teams are aiming to strengthen further before the transfer window closes. Leverkusen want Quansah to help close the gap to Bayern, and Liverpool aim to stay among England’s elite.

A previous report confirmed that Quansah played 25 Premier League matches last season.
