Liverpool’s buy-back option on Jarell Quansah has various clauses with the Reds ‘expected’ to re-sign the defender in 2027.
Quansah signed for Bayer Leverkusen last summer for a fee of around £34m. The 23-year-old has impressed in the Bundesliga and was called up to the England squad this month, before withdrawing due to injury.
Liverpool have been linked with re-signing Quansah this summer, to solve the club’s issues of defensive depth and homegrown quota.
Ibrahima Konate’s deal is due to expire at the end of the campaign and, despite the imminent arrival of Jeremy Jacquet, another centre-back signing is expected.
According to German outlet BILD, that player is not likely to be Quansah, this summer at least. Quansah would cost £80m to re-sign this summer according to his contract clause, a fee that drops to £65m in 2027.
That summer will also see Virgil van Dijk’s contract expire, at which point the Dutch defender is expected to move on. Liverpool view Quansah as a potential long-term successor to the club captain.
