Liverpool has agreed on a deal to re-sign Jarell Quansah from Bayer Leverkusen, with the defender reportedly having already agreed to personal terms on a new contract. The Reds sold Quansah to Leverkusen for £35 million this summer after the young defender struggled to get game time under Arne Slot.
Quansah’s Transfer and Buy-Back Clause
– Quansah joined Bayer Leverkusen from Liverpool for an initial £30 million, with potential add-ons worth £5 million.
– Liverpool negotiated a buy-back clause worth £51-£52 million, which can be activated in the summer of 2027.
– The buy-back clause allows Liverpool to re-sign Quansah after he has gained more experience playing regularly in the Bundesliga ¹ ² ³.
Potential Return to Liverpool
– Quansah’s potential return to Liverpool would strengthen the team’s defense, particularly with Virgil van Dijk’s future uncertain.
– The young defender has started well in Germany, earning a call-up to the England squad and starting both of Leverkusen’s Bundesliga games this season.
– Liverpool’s interest in re-signing Quansah shows they highly rate him and potentially see him as a future mainstay of their defense ³ ⁴.
Current Squad Dynamics
– Liverpool’s central defense is currently led by Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté, but the club is planning for the future.
– With Joe Gomez’s contract expiring in 2027 and Konaté potentially leaving in 2026, Liverpool is preparing for significant changes in their defense.
– The potential return of Quansah would provide a strong option for the Reds, especially with the addition of young defender Giovanni Leoni to the squad ³.
