Bayer Leverkusen completed the signing of Jarell Quansah from Liverpool in early July 2025 for an initial £30 million, with potential add-ons adding up to £5 million. The transfer also includes a buyback clause valued at €60 million (£51.6 million), effective after two years. Leverkusen’s social media team received praise for their classy posts, thanking Liverpool fans and referencing the successful precedent set by Sami Hyypia, another Liverpool defender who thrived at Leverkusen after being given the number 4 shirt, which Quansah also inherited[1].

Quansah made a strong impression in his debut for Bayer Leverkusen in a 2-0 win against VfL Bochum. Fans responded very positively to his performance, with comments highlighting his defensive capabilities, some calling him a "wall" and comparing him favorably to former club captain Jonathan Tah. Several supporters expressed that Quansah has significant potential to become a key player and praised Liverpool for letting him move to a club where he can get regular playing time to develop further[2].

Prior to the transfer, Liverpool was reportedly open to letting Quansah leave "for the right money," valuing the 22-year-old centre-back at around £40 million. However, Liverpool did not actively seek to sell him, recognizing his potential, though the player himself desired more playing time—something difficult to guarantee at Anfield. Bayer Leverkusen's strong interest aligned with Liverpool’s openness to negotiating a move, leading to Quansah’s eventual transfer to Germany[3][5].

Overall, Jarell Quansah’s transfer represents a strategic move for both player and club: Leverkusen acquiring a promising defender with a buyback option, while Quansah gains the opportunity for regular top-flight playing time in the Bundesliga, following in the footsteps of several English players who have flourished in Germany.
