News | Jarell Quansah

The 22-year-old centre-back has signed a five-year contract with the Bundesliga side after coming through the ranks at Liverpool.

Quansah was part of the England squad that lifted the European Under-21 Championship on Saturday, defeating Germany in the final.

His transfer marks the third deal between the two clubs this summer, following Liverpool’s signings of Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong.

Newcastle had shown interest in signing Quansah last summer as part of a proposed swap deal for Anthony Gordon, though Liverpool rejected the approach.

As a homegrown player, the fee from Leverkusen will be recorded as pure profit in Liverpool’s accounts under profit and sustainability regulations.

Quansah made 58 appearances for Liverpool, scoring three times. He helped the club win the League Cup in 2024 and made 13 league appearances last season as Arne Slot’s side secured the Premier League title.

Leverkusen's strategy 

In previous transfer windows, Leverkusen have sold players like Kai Havertz and Moussa Diaby. A similar story follows this summer. However, after their historic Bundesliga title in 2024, maybe more players will sign for them. 

This summer, they will plan to utilize the £116 million received from Wirtz’s transfer to Liverpool to support their player recruitment efforts. The aim is to build a team capable of competing for major honors and challenging Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, who hold a near-monopoly on the domestic league. The club's current recruitment strategy focuses on signing quality players who can deliver immediate results while having the potential for further development.

Following the appointment of new manager Erik ten Hag, Leverkusen has completed five signings: Mark Flekken, Abdoulaye Faye, Ibrahim Maza, Tim Oermann, and Axel Tape. The club aims to add more players to prepare for another title challenge after winning the league in 2024.

England 1 - 3 Senegal We try to pull together some measured reaction and reporting after England lose in Nottingham. It's only a post season friendly that nobody will remember in three months.  Author | Kieran M Stadium | The City Ground England fell to their first defeat under Thomas Tuchel as Senegal claimed a thoroughly deserved win in a low-key friendly at the City Ground. It wasn't a good performance from Tuchel’s team, who were outplayed by confident and composed opponents. Senegal became the first African nation to beat England’s men, and did so with an assured display.  For Tuchel though, it did give him an opportunity to see a different group of players together. He would have learned a lot from this. A closer look at what happened The evening had started brightly for the hosts, who took the lead in the seventh minute when Harry Kane reacted quickest after Edouard Mendy spilled Anthony Gordon’s low effort. It was Kane’s 73rd goal for England. This would be the...

Czech Republic 1 - 3 England Harvey Elliott set England Under-21s on course for a winning start as the reigning champions opened their European Championship defence with a composed victory over the Czech Republic in Slovakia. Author | George B Stadium | MOL Aréna Despite a string of withdrawals in the lead-up to the tournament, head coach Lee Carsley named an adventurous line-up for the Young Lions’ opener. England broke the deadlock six minutes before half-time. Tino Livramento, a lively presence down the left, saw his cross deflected into the box where captain James McAtee laid it off for Elliott, who finished with a crisp low drive. Livramento was central again for the second, gliding past his marker before delivering a low ball that brushed Jonathan Rowe en route to beating goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek. The Czechs responded swiftly through Daniel Fila, who nodded in Vaclav Sejk’s chipped cross just moments later. But England reasserted control and sealed the result 14 minutes from...
