Jarell Quansah is becoming one of the most interesting defensive names in the European transfer market, with several major clubs reportedly monitoring the former Liverpool defender.
Quansah left Liverpool for Bayer Leverkusen in 2025 after making 58 senior appearances for the Reds. Since moving to Germany, he has continued developing and earned international recognition with England. (Liverpool FC)
The 23-year-old’s progress has attracted interest from clubs including Real Madrid, Chelsea and Arsenal, according to recent reports. Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring his situation, while Premier League clubs have also shown interest. (Sky Sport)
Quansah’s versatility makes him particularly attractive. He is primarily a centre-back but can also play at right-back, giving clubs another tactical option when building their defensive squads. (https://www.englandfootball.com)
Arsenal have previously held talks with Bayer Leverkusen about Quansah, while recent reports suggest Chelsea are also interested. Real Madrid are now reportedly watching his development as they consider future defensive reinforcements. (Sky Sports)
For Liverpool, the situation is especially interesting because the club negotiated a buy-back option when Quansah moved to Germany.
Sky Sport reports that Liverpool can bring him back for €70 million until June 15, 2027. That gives the Reds an advantage if they decide that Quansah is ready to return to Anfield. (Sky Sport)
The question is whether Liverpool should use that option.
Quansah already understands the club, the Premier League and the expectations that come with playing for Liverpool. His experience in Germany and with England has also given him another level of development that he did not have when he left Anfield.
Liverpool also have to consider their current defensive needs. If the club believes Quansah can return as a more mature and reliable centre-back, bringing him back could be an attractive option.
But there is another side to the situation.
If Quansah continues improving at Leverkusen, his value could increase further, while interest from clubs such as Real Madrid, Chelsea and Arsenal could create competition for his signature.
For now, Liverpool have an important decision to make.
Do they use their buy-back option and bring one of their former academy players back to Anfield, or allow Quansah to continue his career in Germany while Europe’s biggest clubs compete for him?
With interest reportedly growing, Quansah’s future could become one of the more fascinating Liverpool transfer stories to watch.
