Since making the move to Germany, Quansah has made 43 appearances across all competitions, and earned himself a place in the England squad for this summer’s World Cup.And now, heading into the final group game against Panama, Quansah's stock continues to rise, having been selected by Thomas Tuchel to make his tournament debut.Liverpool fans will no doubt be watching on with interest to see how Quansah fares, potentially with a keen eye on him returning to the club soon.According to a report from German outlet BILD last month, that is a prospect that has already been discussed at Liverpool.

It’s claimed that while a return for the Anfield academy graduate has been talked about, Liverpool will wait until next year to potentially make a move - when he will be cheaper to buy.Liverpool inserted a buy-back clause in Jarell Quansah's transfer to Bayer Leverkusen(Image: Marcel ter Bals/DeFodi Images/DeFodi via Getty Images)The Reds inserted a buy-back clause when Quansah made the move to Leverkusen, which would have made him available for $93M (€80M) this summer. However, that clause will reportedly come down further next year, when Quansah would be available to Liverpool for $70M (€60M).There’s more to the decision than just the price tag though, with Liverpool said to be expecting Quansah to develop further as a leader with another year at Leverkusen, before he heads back to Merseyside to challenge for a regular spot in the team.Despite Liverpool reportedly eyeing up a return for its former defender, Quansah is happy in Germany, having admitted the move to Leverkusen helped him to enjoy his soccer again after a difficult final season at Anfield.Get Liverpool's new 2026/27 home kitThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
