Quansah Set for Leverkusen Medical Today as Liverpool Secure Buyback Clause

A major Liverpool exit is on the brink of completion, with Jarell Quansah expected to undergo a medical today ahead of a move to Bayer Leverkusen, according to a fresh update.

Ben Jacobs reported via X that the 22-year-old defender will complete his medical on Monday, with a €35 million fee agreed, and add-ons potentially pushing the total deal above €40 million.

Importantly, Jacobs also revealed that Liverpool have included a buyback clause in the agreement—allowing the Reds to retain long-term control over the highly-rated centre-back. This detail has also been echoed by Fabrizio Romano.

A product of Liverpool’s academy and Warrington-born, Quansah has long been viewed as a major talent within the club’s setup. He earned his first call-up to England’s senior team after impressing at youth level and even helped the Young Lions win the U21 European Championship last weekend.

However, despite his potential, he featured just once in the Premier League after January last season, falling behind the likes of Van Dijk, Konaté, and Gomez in the pecking order.

With Leverkusen set to compete in the Champions League, the Bundesliga presents an exciting next step in his development.

Third Major Departure of the Summer

Quansah’s move would mark Liverpool’s third big sale of the window, following Caoimhin Kelleher’s transfer to Brentford and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s shock move to Real Madrid.

Sources suggest the club’s sporting department has been strategic in managing defensive depth. Marc Guehi continues to be linked as a possible defensive reinforcement.

The inclusion of a buyback option is seen as a smart play—allowing Liverpool to monitor Quansah’s progress closely, while giving the player a chance to develop without being blocked at Anfield.

Interestingly, Quansah’s exit appears unrelated to the club’s recent £116 million signing of Florian Wirtz from Leverkusen, despite online speculation around the finances.

It remains unclear whether today’s medical is being conducted in Germany or handled by a Leverkusen delegation in the UK, but all signs point to an official announcement very soon.
