Jarell Quansah's future at Bayer Leverkusen appears highly uncertain as multiple top-tier clubs show interest in the England international. Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool are all reportedly in pursuit of the 23-year-old defender. According to Sport Bild, Real Madrid is expected to join the bidding, with the Spanish giants likely needing at least two centre-backs next summer.
Arsenal had already made a €65 million offer for Quansah last season, but Leverkusen rejected the proposal. However, the prospect of Quansah remaining at Leverkusen beyond 2027 is described as "highly unrealistic" by Sport Bild. Liverpool, who acquired Quansah from Leverkusen for €35 million in 2025, holds a €70 million buyback option for the defender next summer, giving them an advantage in the race.
It is considered likely that Liverpool will exercise their option, either by keeping Quansah or selling him on for a profit. The 23-year-old has primarily played as a centre-back for both England and Bayer Leverkusen, but has also been utilized as a right-back for both national teams and club sides. His contract with Leverkusen extends until 2030.
