Bayer Leverkusen have completed the signing of Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah in a £35million deal.

The Bundesliga side will pay £30million up front for the 22-year-old centre-back, who started last season alongside Virgil van Dijk against Ipswich but was substituted at half-time and never regained his regular starting place.

Liverpool are also understood to have inserted a buy-back option into the deal for their academy graduate, who joined the club as a five-year-old.

A statement on the Reds’ official website read: “Jarell Quansah has completed a transfer from Liverpool to Bayer Leverkusen.

“Everybody at LFC would like to thank Jarell for his contributions and wish him the very best for the future.”

The Warrington-born England Under-21 international, who made his debut in 2023 and went on to make 58 appearances, leaves Anfield as a Premier League champion and Carabao Cup winner.

Leverkusen welcomed Quansah with a message on their official X account which read: “Liv to Lev. Welcome to Bayer 04, Jarell Quansah!”
