Liverpool have confirmed defender Jarell Quansah has completed a permanent transfer to Bayer Leverkusen. The German side will pay an initial £30 million fee for the centre-back, with the potential for an initial £5m in easily achievable add-ons.

Bayer Leverkusen have completed the signing of Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah in a £35million deal. The Bundesliga side will pay £30million up front for the 22-year-old centre-back, who started last season alongside Virgil van Dijk against Ipswich but was substituted at half-time and never regained his regular starting place.

Jarell Quansah has completed his move from Liverpool to Bayer Leverkusen on a five-year deal through to 2030. Liverpool say the deal is worth £30million and will include a buy-back option for the defender for a pre-agreed fee in future.
