The 22-year-old helped England Under-21s lift the European Championship on Sunday evening. The defender now looks set to begin a new chapter in Germany after a season that saw him win the Premier League title with Liverpool.<\/p><p>Quansah made just four Premier League starts last term due to Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate being ahead of him in the pecking order. However, his potential and composure on the ball attracted significant interest from across Europe. Bayer Leverkusen were particularly impressed with Quansah and their &pound;35 million transfer offer was accepted by Liverpool.<\/p><p>Quansah has been highly regarded within Liverpool&rsquo;s academy and his performances for England at the U21 Euros further highlighted his readiness for regular first-team football. The German giants will pay an initial &pound;30 million to Liverpool, with a further &pound;5 million in add-ons tied to performance milestones. As part of the deal, Liverpool have inserted a &pound;51 million buy-back clause, effective from the summer of 2027.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680; &#9989; Jarell Quansah completes his move to Bayer Leverkusen as medical has been done today, as revealed.<br><br>&#9673; &pound;30m initial fee to Liverpool.<br>&#9673; &pound;5m add-ons.<br>&#9673; Buy back clause starting from &euro;60m plus add-ons.<br>&#9673; Buy back clause available from 2027. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cJazdR5ytf\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/cJazdR5ytf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1939639714795208860?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>June 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/lionel-messi-gives-ousmane-dembele-his-entire-kit-after-psgs-dominant-win-over-inter-miami\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Lionel Messi Gives Ousmane Dembele His Entire Kit After PSG&rsquo;s Dominant Win Over Inter Miami<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liverpool Target Marc Guehi To Replace Quansah<\/h2><p>As Liverpool prepare for Quansah&rsquo;s departure, they have turned their attention towards Crystal Palace&rsquo;s Marc Guehi.

Guehi has been a key figure for Palace and is expected to feature prominently for England at the 2026 World Cup. <\/p><p>Liverpool manager Arne Slot sees Guehi as a player capable of stepping into Liverpool&rsquo;s defence.

Liverpool are also willing to offer 19-year-old Scotland winger Ben Doak as part of a deal for Marc Guehi.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Liverpool prepare for Quansah\u2019s departure, they have turned their attention towards Crystal Palace\u2019s Marc Guehi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":70116,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[5618,4038],"tags":[3940,3882,8275,1181,1182],"class_list":["post-70098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-premier-league","category-soccer","tag-bayer-leverkusen","tag-bundesliga","tag-jarell-quansah","tag-liverpool","tag-premier-league"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
