Quansah made 25 appearances in all competitions for the Reds last season, helping them win the Premier League having made his senior debut under Jurgen Klopp in 2023.
In total he made 53 senior appearances for Liverpool, scoring three goals and also winning the Carabao Cup in 2023/24.
He makes his move to Bayer Leverkusen, now managed by former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, having played a key role in England's U21 European Championship success in Slovakia.
He has signed a five-year contract and the deal represents the third between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen this summer, with Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong having moved in the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have rejected an approach from Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz.
Max Eberl, Bayern's sporting director, has been told the 28-year-old is not for sale, and discussions have gone no further since.
It is the second time this summer the Reds have rejected interest in the forward, having issued the same message to Barcelona earlier in the window.
Liverpool will not entertain any approaches for the Colombian, who has also been of interest to Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr this summer.
Liverpool executives view Diaz as pivotal for the coming seasons.
Diaz was a key part of Liverpool's Premier League title win last season as he scored 13 goals and provided five assists.
