Recent chatter has highlighted Jarell Quansah as a possible return candidate for Liverpool in 2027. The 23-year-old defender moved to Bayer Leverkusen from Liverpool last year and has established himself as a key figure for Leverkusen while earning call-ups with England.
There has been speculation that Quansah could be enticed back to the Premier League, with Liverpool reportedly monitoring his progress as part of ongoing assessment of defensive options. A contract clause in Leverkusen’s deal reportedly allows them to re-sign Quansah for a fee of £59.5 million by June 15, 2027, if they consider him a strong addition at the end of the season.
Reports on social media have claimed that Quansah could depart Leverkusen in 2027, with interest from Liverpool and other major clubs in England, including Chelsea and Arsenal. It’s also noted that Real Madrid regularly observe his development.
Should Liverpool pursue a reunion with Quansah? Opinions are divided. Quansah has spoken about the high regard in which he holds Virgil van Dijk, noting the immense learning opportunity from playing alongside one of the game’s greats. He has described van Dijk’s feedback as valuable, both in on-pitch guidance and in how to handle the pressures of high-profile matches.
Despite positive performances since leaving Anfield, Liverpool must weigh their long-term defensive strategy. When van Dijk eventually departs, the club will need an elite, experienced head to partner with younger central options, such as promising prospects currently in the squad. Quansah, while still young, may be viewed as a squad player rather than a guaranteed starter at Liverpool in the immediate term.
It would be prudent for the Reds to continue monitoring Quansah’s development. If he continues to rise under his current manager and secures a breakout season with England, the idea of investing a substantial fee could be on the table. However, signing a direct rival’s player instead of pursuing a return could carry risks, so exploring a range of options remains sensible.
