Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah is close to joining Bayer Leverkusen, with the deal now moving fast toward the finish line.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, negotiations are in the “final stages,” and both clubs are confident of wrapping things up within 24 to 48 hours.

The final fee is expected to be around £30 million, with an additional £5 million in performance-related add-ons.

The 22-year-old center-back has shown promise at Anfield but struggled to break into the starting XI on a regular basis.

With Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate ahead in the pecking order, opportunities have been few and far between.

The writing was on the wall for some time, but now, the exit clock is ticking loud and clear.

The answer is simple: In need of more game time.

Signing Quansah fits that plan well — a defender who’s raw but ready to grow.

From riding the bench in Merseyside to possibly anchoring a Bundesliga defense, it’s a big jump, but one that could shape his career.

For Liverpool, the deal makes financial sense.

With a proper summer rebuild under Arne Slot, the Reds are restructuring — and every move counts, especially when it brings in £30 million for a player not yet fully established.

It might hurt to see another academy product leave, but as they say — no Quansah, no gain.
