🚨 Reports: Record signing on the way, Bayer to spend the Wirtz millions

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

According to the English 'Telegraph' and 'Sky' reporter Florian Plettenberg, the club has agreed with Liverpool FC on a transfer fee for center-back Jarell Quansah. According to the 'Telegraph', 35 million euros will be paid to the Reds, making the 22-year-old Leverkusen's record signing. Previously, this was Kerem Demirbay, for whom Bayer paid a sum of 32 million euros to Hoffenheim in 2019.

Quansah can be seen as immediate help on one hand, but on the other hand, he also has great development potential. He is currently with England at the U21 European Championship. For Liverpool, he played in 25 competitive matches last season, although he 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 player.
