The academy graduate was blocked by Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, so a \u00a335 million switch offered regular football and a clear pathway to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liverpool have since felt the impact of losing him. Joe Gomez has battled fitness issues, and the plan to replace Quansah quickly went wrong when Giovanni Leoni suffered a season ending ACL injury on his debut. Depth has suddenly become a real concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Germany, Quansah has taken off. He has made 32 appearances in all competitions, scored four times, and earned his senior England debut last November. That form has naturally sparked talk of a return to Anfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8| NEW: Liverpool considering RE-SIGNING Jarell Quansah from Bayer Leverkusen. \ud83d\udd34\ud83d\udd19<br><br>They hold an \u20ac80m buy-back clause valid until the end of May. <br><br>[<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/berger_pj?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@berger_pj<\/a>] <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GzdSOZd812\">pic.twitter.com\/GzdSOZd812<\/a><\/p>&mdash; CentreGoals.

Van Dijk turns 35 in July, Konate could leave for free with his deal running down, and Gomez has been linked with a summer move, with AC Milan mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quansah\u2019s Leverkusen contract includes a buyback clause worth around \u00a352 million, and it is understood to be valid this summer. Even so, the latest line is that Liverpool have taken no steps to activate it and are not planning to bring him back in the coming window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That stance makes more sense when you look at the wider plan. Liverpool are already set to sign Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet in a deal that could reach \u00a360 million with add ons, and Leoni is expected back next season. Quansah remains a long term option, but for now, a quick reunion is not on the agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" data-attachment-id=\"8016\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/footstrike.site\/?attachment_id=8016\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/footstrike.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/66.webp?fit=820%2C547&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"820,547\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"66\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/footstrike.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/66.webp?fit=240%2C160&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/footstrike.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/66.webp?resize=640%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/footstrike.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/66.webp?w=820&amp;ssl=1 820w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/footstrike.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/66.webp?resize=285%2C190&amp;ssl=1 285w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/footstrike.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/66.webp?resize=240%2C160&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/footstrike.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/66.webp?resize=700%2C467&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/footstrike.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/66.webp?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jarell Quansah\u2019s move from Liverpool to Bayer Leverkusen last July made sense at the time.
