Liverpool Agree to Sell Defender in €30m Deal – Medical Set as Leverkusen Close In
Liverpool have reached a full agreement to sell defender Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen in a permanent deal worth €30 million plus bonuses, according to reports from Germany. The transfer is now in its final stages, with the player’s medical examination already being prepared.
Renowned Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg broke the news on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), confirming that Leverkusen have sealed a deal with Liverpool to sign the 22-year-old centre-back. Quansah is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Bundesliga club once medicals are completed next week.
Quansah made 25 appearances under Arne Slot last season and has attracted growing attention with his composure, strength, and ability to play out from the back. His development has impressed several clubs across Europe, but Leverkusen have now taken the decisive step to secure his signature — especially after the recent departure of defensive stalwart Jonathan Tah.
Interestingly, this isn’t the only business between the two clubs this summer. Florian Wirtz, Bayer Leverkusen’s midfield gem, is also edging closer to a high-profile move in the opposite direction. The 22-year-old German international reportedly arrived in the UK on Thursday to undergo medical tests ahead of a record-breaking move to Liverpool, which could become the most expensive transfer in British football history.
With Quansah set for a new chapter in the Bundesliga and Wirtz on the verge of becoming Anfield’s newest star, the summer window is heating up fast for both clubs.
If all goes according to plan, Quansah’s transfer will be made official in the coming days, marking a major defensive addition for Erik ten Hag’s side and another high-profile exit from Anfield.
Stay tuned for more updates as both clubs look to finalise paperwork and confirm medicals.
