Real Madrid see Bayer Leverkusen star as a ‘great candidate with serious potential’

Real Madrid are closely monitoring Bayer Leverkusen's defender Jarell Quansah due to his potential and versatility, according to Sky Sports Germany. The England international, who joined Leverkusen from Liverpool for €35 million, is seen as a 'great candidate with serious potential' by the Spanish giants. Quansah, 23, can play both centre-back and right-back, providing Real Madrid with flexibility in their defensive plans.

His physical attributes and ability to distribute the ball further add to his appeal. Since his move to the Bundesliga, Leverkusen has seen Quansah develop into a defender who can contribute both in possession and without the ball. Real Madrid is 'regularly scouting the player', indicating their serious interest. However, Liverpool, Quansah's current club, retain a €70 million buy-back option valid until June 2027, which could complicate any potential move.

Additionally, Chelsea and Arsenal are also monitoring Quansah, increasing the competition for his services. Leverkusen, having invested heavily in Quansah with a contract running until 2030, is in a strong negotiating position. Should Real Madrid decide to pursue the defender, they will need to carefully assess the transfer cost and the level of competition.
