Jarell Quansah has expressed a heartfelt farewell to Liverpool fans following his transfer to Bayer Leverkusen.

The England Under-21 international has made the switch to the Bundesliga side in a transaction that could reach $48 million (£35 million).

Quansah has committed to a five-year tenure at Leverkusen, with Liverpool securing a buy-back option in the agreement, reportedly valued at about $69 million (£51m).

The defender, who has been with Liverpool's Academy since he was five, departs as a Premier League champion and with 58 appearances under his belt.

While eager to embrace the challenges of the Bundesliga, Quansah took the time to acknowledge his former Liverpool colleagues and mentors, as well as the supporters, suggesting that this departure might just be a temporary 'goodbye for now'.

In an emotional Instagram post, he reflected on his journey: "From the moment I walked through the doors of the Academy at 5 years old, I dreamed of one day wearing the Liverpool shirt at Anfield," he shared.

This is goodbye for now, but I'll always be watching - once a Red, always a Red."

In the meantime, Leverkusen's sporting director Simon Rolfes expressed his excitement about Quansah joining the team.

"We are delighted to be able to sign Jarell Quansah, one of the most promising English central defenders

"He has already made an impressive impact in a Liverpool defence dominated by world-class players.

"With Jarell, our defence gains significant dynamism, pace, and toughness in duels, and he will be another very important building block for the Werkself of the future."
