Leverkusen make transfer stance clear on Arsenal-linked Quansah

Bayer Leverkusen has firmly stated that they have no intention of selling England defender Jarell Quansah, despite Arsenal's reported interest in the 23-year-old. Sources suggest that Arsenal has been in talks with Leverkusen about a potential move for Quansah, who is currently under contract until 2030 with no release clause in his deal.

This puts Leverkusen in a strong negotiating position, as they have now confirmed that Quansah is not for sale. Meanwhile, Liverpool's chance to re-sign the defender this summer appears to have passed, as they had secured a buy-back clause when Quansah joined Leverkusen last summer.
