Liverpool are interested in re-signing Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah after his successful season in the Bundesliga, according to sources.
The Reds only paid £35 million for the centre-back last summer, but they included a buy-back clause in the agreement, which goes into effect in 2027.
Arne Slot’s team is looking for a new centre-back to replace c, who might go for free at the end of the season when his contract expires.
The defending Premier League champions missed out on England international Marc Guehi, who joined rivals Manchester City last month, before agreeing to sign Rennes starlet Jeremy Jacquet.
Liverpool looking forward to Jarell Quansah’s return.
According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, Liverpool can secure Quansah’s return to the club for a predetermined amount, with the contract and paperwork already in place for the move to take place in 2027.

Quansah was part of Liverpool’s huge roster rearrangement last summer, during which the club spent more than £450 million on new acquisitions, including a club record £125 million for striker Alexander Isak.
The Merseysiders have also signed Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Milos Kerkez, while Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Quansah have left.
Quansah has been a vital player for Leverkusen since his arrival last summer, making 28 games in all competitions and scoring twice.
The 23-year-old also made his England debut last year, starting in a 2-0 victory over Albania in a World Cup qualifying match in November.
Quansah, who was lauded as ‘amazing’, made only 58 senior appearances for Liverpool after graduating from the club’s youth, including 17 starts in his first two seasons.
Liverpool Eyeing Mohamed Salah Replacement
With Mohamed Salah still a priority for Saudi Pro League scouts, the Reds could aim to replace him with a new signing on the wing.
According to rumors, Liverpool has identified RB Leipzig rising talent Yan Diomande as a potential target, and the winger is being monitored by a number of English and European clubs.
Diomande’s outstanding Bundesliga performances this season have captivated fans across Europe, with the forward scoring seven goals and contributing five assists in 19 outings.
