Jarell Quansah's move to Bayer Leverkusen has done exactly what he wanted, and now the transfer interest has come back around. Arsenal reportedly had a €65million (£55.5m) bid rejected, Chelsea have made initial enquiries, and Liverpool still hold a €70million (£67.5m) buy-back option for June 2027.
Arsenal's rejected bid
The first hard number in this story is the one Leverkusen turned down. Arsenal's €65million (£55.5m) offer was rejected, which tells you where Leverkusen stand on Quansah's value right now.
That is a sharp rise from the £30million Liverpool received when he left in July 2025. Since then, he has made 49 appearances in all competitions for Leverkusen and started all but one of their top-flight matches this season.
Liverpool's leverage
Liverpool did not just let him go and wave him off. Their buy-back clause runs at €70million (£67.5m) in June 2027, and that gives them a strong position if the market keeps moving.
Quansah has also spoken plainly about why he left. "It was a really tough decision, to be honest, to walk away from my boyhood club, a club I’ve been at all my life," he told metro.co.uk.
He added: "But I just knew it was the best thing that I needed for my career, to be playing week in, week out." That has happened at Leverkusen, and Chelsea's enquiries suggest the rest of Europe has noticed.
