Liverpool have started the summer transfer window off strong, already signing two big players as they are set to sign at least one more very soon. The board seem keen to reward new manager Arne Slot with big investment, though this will of course lead to much lower profit margins. The Reds now try to neutralise this spending with some revenue, including a big sale of Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen.<\/p>\n
Fabrizio Romano has revealed<\/a> that Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen have now agreed a \u00a335 million deal for Quansah. \u00a330 million of this will constitute the initial fee, whilst \u00a35 million will be in add-ons, he reveals whilst giving his famous\u00a0Here We Go. <\/em><\/p>\n Leverkusen sign the 22-year-old on a five-year deal as their Jonathan Tah replacement, Florian Plettenberg reveals<\/a>. The German centre-back joined Bayern Munich on a free transfer before the Club World Cup; Quansah was reportedly Leverkusen’s top target to fill his shoes.<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>\u2018Active Negotiations Ongoing\u2019 as \u2018Controversial\u2019 Liverpool Player Has \u2018Opened Doors\u2019 to Exit<\/a><\/p>\n Romano exclusively reveals that The Reds will have a buy-back clause in the deal for their defender. This has been described as “genius”<\/a>, with Quansah’s ceiling so high.<\/p>\n Some fans may be questioning why Liverpool would need a buy-back clause on a player that they would so willingly let go. It’s not as though Quansah’s ability has not yet come through, as he has played 58 games for the Merseyside outfit. However, it may be that they have quite strong intentions to activate this clause in a couple of years: this departure may have been a smart, short-term move.<\/p>\n Liverpool have already agreed a \u00a3130 million package for Florian Wirtz<\/a> and have spent around \u00a330 million on Jeremie Frimpong<\/a>. A deal for Milos Kerkez<\/a> has been agreed for \u00a340 million, whilst they chase Marc Guehi. Selling Quansah now for \u00a330 million and then buying him back in a couple of years could be a tactically smart short-term financial move to help balance the books.<\/p>\n Furthermore, at the moment Liverpool’s centre-back duo is locked in, with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate two of the best in the world. However, van Dijk is ageing and Konate’s contract runs out next summer. At some point, they could need a new centre-back and by that time Quansah may be at the perfect standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Liverpool have started the summer transfer window off strong, already signing two big players as they are set to sign at least one more very soon.
