The two club have now agreed a £35m fee for Quansah, which would be a club record fee from Leverkusen for a defender.

Leverkusen are looking for a replacement for Jonathan Tah, who departed the club to join Bayern Munich this summer.

Quansah has been a top target of new manager Erik ten Hag's list and Leverkusen have now reached an agreement.

Liverpool have been savvy, though, as they have put in a buy-back clause.

The 22-year-old centre-back only made 13 appearances in the Premier League during Arne Slot's first season in charge.

His Reds career has prospered over the last two years, following his professional debut for the club in August 2023.

He has been a regular in the matchday squads ever since then, and signed a new long-term contract in October.

But after only playing a handful of times during Liverpool's Premier League-winning campaign, Quansah may want more minutes.

The centre-back has been competing against captain Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté for a starting spot in the team.

It has meant that he hasn't had much time on the pitch in the top-flight, only playing 489 minutes this season.

I’m not getting too high or too low.

“I can take massive learnings from the three seasons I’ve been in professional football, from Bristol [Rovers] to now.

“I’m in a very good position to take the next step, and it just comes with working hard and staying focused on what I can control.”

Bayern Munich left fuming that top transfer target has chosen Premier League move

News of Quansah's impending exit to Bayer Leverkusen comes after reports of Real Madrid making a swoop for Konate.

Spanish outlet MARCA report that the Frenchman is a target for Madrid as they bid to capitalise on his contract expiring in 2026.

Joe Gomez's future at Anfield has also been called into question, leaving the Reds with a potential exodus of centre-backs.

Quansah's exit could also pave the way for Marc Guehi's arrival at Liverpool.

talkSPORT understands he is a top target for the Reds, while Guehi is prepared to run down his contract at Crystal Palace.

Meanwhile, for Leverkusen, ex-United boss Ten Hag is preparing for his first campaign in charge of the club.

He has already seen Jeremie Frimpong join Liverpool, with Wirtz also on his way to the Premier League.
