Michael Regan/Getty Images Bayer Leverkusen have received ‘no indication’ that Liverpool intend to bring back Jarell Quansah this coming summer. Quansah came through Liverpool’s academy before being handed his senior debut by Jurgen Klopp in the 2023/24 season.

The young centre-back gained increasing prominence in Klopp’s final season, as Liverpool legend Phil Thompson expressed his eagerness to see Quansah play more often, expecting him to become ‘some centre-back’. The defender’s performances were so good that former Liverpool star Jason McAteer compared Quansah to Virgil van Dijk, while another former Red in Martin Skrtel was left in awe of Quansah’s ‘quality and confidence’ at such a young age.

Arne Slot replaced Klopp as Liverpool manager over the summer and named Quansah in his first Premier League lineup to take on Ipswich Town.
