Liverpool Eyes Quansah Return from Leverkusen

Published 3 March 2026

Liverpool FC is exploring the possibility of re-signing former academy product Jarell Quansah from Bayer Leverkusen this summer, just one year after selling the defender to the German club for 35 million pounds. The 23-year-old England international has impressed in the Bundesliga, prompting Liverpool to reconsider their defensive options amid ongoing contract uncertainties at Anfield.

Quansah joined Leverkusen last summer seeking regular playing time, which he has since secured with 28 starts across all competitions this season. He has contributed offensively as well, scoring three goals, including in his last two Bundesliga matches. Liverpool included a buyback clause in the original deal, valued at approximately 52.5 million pounds, though reports indicate it does not activate until 2027. Club scouts have attended Leverkusen's past four fixtures, during which the team conceded only one goal, closely monitoring Quansah's performances. Sources suggest Leverkusen would consider advancing the clause if Quansah expresses interest in returning, potentially at a fee around 60 million pounds, reflecting his rapid development and international status.
