Fabrizio Romano hints at THIRD Liverpool x Bayer Leverkusen deal | OneFootball

Leverkusen want Jarell Quansah

Romano claimed on Wednesday that Leverkusen have now added Jarell Quansah to their shortlist. They're looking for centre-backs as they aim to replace Jonthan Tah, who's joined Bayern Munich.

"Bayer Leverkusen add Loïc Badé to their shortlist for new centre back in addition to Jarell Quansah," he wrote on Twitter.

"Badé, appreciated internally — and one more name after contacts for Quansah in separate deal from Florian Wirtz.

"Leverkusen will sign new CB to replace Tah."

It would be an interesting move for Quansah and one he probably needs. The centre-back struggled badly for form last season after being dropped at half-time in the first game of the Arne Slot era.

He did recover, playing well over the second half of the campaign, but too little too late? It feels as though Slot doesn't rate him as highly as Jurgen Klopp did and that Quansah may struggle to force his way to regular first-team football.

If a team as strong as Leverkusen are willing to offer that, it feels like a very good move for the youngster.
