Bayer Leverkusen have set their sights on Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah as they look to strengthen their backline ahead of the 2025/26 season under new manager Erik ten Hag.

According to The Atheltic, the Bundesliga giants, having recently sold Jonathan Tah to Bayern Munich, are in the market for a dynamic central defender, and Quansah has emerged as a prime candidate.

According to Fabrizio Romano via X, Quansah features prominently on Leverkusen’s shortlist alongside other names like Loïc Badé.



But it’s the Liverpool academy graduate who has captured the club’s imagination due to his versatility, youth, and potential resale value.

However, despite those appearances, there’s a growing feeling that his development has stagnated at Anfield, especially with fierce competition for places in the heart of defence.

From Liverpool’s perspective, a potential deal for Quansah could be seen as sound financial and sporting strategy, but only under the right conditions.

Firstly, any transfer fee received for Quansah would count as pure profit under the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

From a numbers perspective, a departure for Quansah would be manageable.

For Liverpool, this isn’t about giving up on Quansah, it’s about giving him space to grow, profiting smartly under PSR, and future-proofing the squad.

If the deal is structured correctly, it could be a win-win for all parties involved.

Quansah may yet return to Anfield a more polished, confident defender.
