Liverpool’s summer business continues at pace with a significant deal involving young centre-back Jarell Quansah now close to completion.

The 22-year-old is set for a permanent switch to Bayer Leverkusen, with the two clubs agreeing on a package worth up to £35 million.

According to reports by Fabrizio Romano, the deal includes a guaranteed £30 million fee and £5 million in add-ons.

Crucially, Liverpool have negotiated a buy-back clause, giving them the option to bring Quansah back in the future should he continue to develop.

Quansah’s departure has progressed quickly.

That appearance may have solidified the Bundesliga side’s push to close the deal.

Despite a challenging year under Arne Slot, Quansah showed promise.

His transfer, while agreed, may be delayed until after the U21 Euros, where England face the Netherlands in the semi-final on Wednesday.

Liverpool’s decision to include a buy-back clause highlights their long-term view.

The next move could involve securing a replacement, with Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi now a top priority.
