🚨 Reports: Record signing on the way, Bayer to invest the Wirtz millions | OneFootball

Bayer Leverkusen will receive a lot of money for the transfer of Florian Wirtz, but after the departures of the attacking player as well as Jonathan Tah, Jeremie Frimpong, and Odilon Kossounou, they also need to strengthen their own squad. A record signing for the defense is now reportedly set.

According to consistent reports from the English 'Telegraph' and 'Sky' reporter Florian Plettenberg, the Werkself have reached an agreement with Liverpool FC on a transfer fee for central defender Jarell Quansah. According to the 'Telegraph', 35 million euros will go to the Reds, making the 22-year-old Leverkusen's record signing. Previously, this title belonged to Kerem Demirbay, for whom Bayer paid Hoffenheim a sum of 32 million euros in 2019.

Quansah can be seen as an immediate reinforcement, but of course, he also still has great development potential. He is currently with England at the U21 European Championship. For Liverpool, he made 25 competitive appearances last season, but only accumulated 1,290 minutes (just under 52 minutes per game). At Bayer, he now needs to take the next step and develop into a regular starter.
