There is talk of Liverpool re-signing Jarell Quansah with a report claiming that personal terms have already been agreed with the Bayer Leverkusen star.
When the Reds sold Quansah to Leverkusen in the summer of 2025, it was widely agreed that it was a deal that suit all parties involved. He had done well enough at Anfield, but the consensus was that he was below the standard required of a starting centre-back.
By the end of the 2025-26 season, however, and opinions have changed, although it might be, in part, due to the fact that Liverpool failed to replace him with Marc Guehi last summer and in January this year.
Now, with Ibrahima Konate set to be announced as a Real Madrid free transfer, Liverpool are in dire need of a new centre-back to go hand in hand with the £60m arrival of Jeremy Jacquet.

Latest Jarell Quansah transfer news as talk of Liverpool move gains momentum
German newspaper BILD reported in late May that Liverpool had decided not to trigger their buyback clause in Quansah’s Leverkusen contract which is reportedly set at £67m. They can reportedly make a move to sign him for just £50m next summer if they so choose.
This was then confirmed by Paul Joyce, who wrote: “Liverpool intend to give Giovanni Leoni and Jeremy Jacquet the opportunities to fulfil their potential and they do have a buy-back clause for Jarell Quansah [in 2026 & 2027].”
The Liverpool ECHO now reports: “The Reds included a buy-back clause in the terms that took Quansah to Leverkusen, which is believed to be around the £55m mark. And, crucially, the ECHO understands the England centre-half has already agreed personal terms on an Anfield contract, should the Reds decide to exercise that option.
“It means there is no need for complicated or protracted negotiations with Leverkusen or any concern that Quansah himself might have wage demands too lofty for Liverpool to realistically meet.
“That would make any deal much cleaner for the Reds to execute should they decide that, after two years away, the 23-year-old has become the mainstay of the England team they felt he could become.”
