Real Madrid join race to sign England international ahead of January transfer window – report

Real Madrid have entered the race to sign English defender Jarell Quansah ahead of the January transfer window, according to a recent report. The Spanish giants were proactive during the summer transfer window, but failed to secure a centre-back, which has now become a major concern for the team. Quansah, who joined Bayer Leverkusen from Liverpool for €35 million last summer, has been a standout performer in the Bundesliga.

However, Leverkusen is expected to demand a high price for the 23-year-old English international, who has a long-term contract. Chelsea and Arsenal had previously shown interest but were reportedly rejected due to their bids falling short of Leverkusen's expectations. Real Madrid sees Quansah as a potential solution to their lack of depth in central defence, as he offers height, strength, and versatility in both central defence and right-back positions.
