Premier League heavyweights Liverpool are reportedly planning to activate the buy-back clause in Jarrel Quansah’s contract to bring the English-Ghanaian defender back to Anfield in the summer of 2027.

Quansah, 23, left Liverpool last summer to join German champions Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth around €35 million. Since his move to the Bundesliga, the centre-back has grown into a key figure for the club, delivering consistent performances at the heart of Leverkusen’s defence.

With Liverpool facing a potential defensive overhaul amid injuries and the possible exit of senior defenders, the club has identified Quansah as a long-term solution and is prepared to re-sign him under the terms of the original agreement. The buy-back option is believed to be set at approximately €35 million.

The defender has enjoyed an impressive spell in Germany, making 28 appearances across all competitions and scoring two goals, despite being contracted to Bayer Leverkusen until 2030.

Quansah’s departure from Liverpool was driven by limited playing opportunities, a factor that influenced his decision to seek regular first-team football elsewhere. His development has since been rewarded with an international breakthrough, as he made his debut for England’s senior national team in November 2025, effectively ruling out a future switch to represent Ghana.

The highly-rated defender will now be targeting a place in England’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
