Liverpool Nears £35m Jarell Quansah Sale to Bayer Leverkusen

Liverpool FC is undergoing significant defensive changes this summer, with central defender Jarell Quansah set to join Bayer Leverkusen for around £30-40 million, a deal that will make him Leverkusen's record signing. Alongside Quansah, longtime left-back Andy Robertson is reportedly close to a transfer to Atlético Madrid, paving the way for the signing of Bournemouth's left-back Milos Kerkez, valued around £40 million, to fill the void. Liverpool have also targeted Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi as a potential replacement amid uncertainty over Ibrahima Konaté's contract situation. These moves come as part of a broader overhaul under manager Arne Slot, who is keen to reinforce Liverpool's squad after their Premier League title win, including the record-breaking acquisition of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. While Liverpool has invested heavily in new talent, they are also mindful of Premier League spending regulations and thus are ready to sell key players like Quansah and Robertson to balance finances. The reshaped backline is expected to feature Guehi and Kerkez alongside established stars, signaling Liverpool's intent to remain competitive in both domestic and European competitions.
