Bayer Leverkusen in Talks to Sign Liverpool's Jarell Quansah

Bayer Leverkusen is in discussions with Liverpool regarding the potential transfer of defender Jarell Quansah, as confirmed by a source to ESPN. Quansah, a 22-year-old centre-back, recently extended his contract with Liverpool for another five years.

Quansah's Background and Performance

Quansah, who joined Liverpool's academy at the age of five, debuted for the senior team in August 2023 against Newcastle United. Despite a strong start in the 2023-24 season under Jürgen Klopp, making 33 appearances across all competitions, the England youth international faced challenges in the previous season, featuring in only four Premier League games under Arne Slot.

Potential Impact on Liverpool

If Quansah moves to Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool may face a defensive gap, especially with another centre-back, Ibrahima Konaté, approaching the end of his contract next year.

Previous Transfers Between the Clubs

Liverpool and Leverkusen have a history of transfers, with Jeremie Frimpong recently joining Liverpool and Florian Wirtz moving to Slot's side for a record fee. Any deal for Quansah is said to be separate from the Wirtz transfer.
