UEFA Champions League
Latest news from Real Madrid: the board of the white club is closely following Jarell Quansah, a 23-year-old English center from Bayer Leverkusen, with an eye on the 2027 market. Liverpool retains a buy-back option of 70 million euros which it can activate until June 15, 2027.
As reported by BILD, the scouts of the white club have been continuously monitoring the defender during his time in Germany. Real Madrid is studying his progress before deciding whether to turn this monitoring into an operation in the upcoming summer market.
Real Madrid monitors Quansah's progress
Quansah arrived at Bayer Leverkusen from Liverpool in the summer of 2025. The German team paid about 35 million euros, and the player signed a contract that extends until June 2030.
Since his arrival in the Bundesliga, the Englishman has gained prominence and can play both as a center-back and on the right flank. This versatility expands the possibilities of use within a defense that Real Madrid could reinforce again next summer.
The information from BILD specifically points out that ability to play in more than one position as one of the aspects that have caught the attention of the white club. The club is still in the monitoring phase, and there is currently no formal offer to Bayer Leverkusen.
His market situation already saw significant movements last summer. Arsenal even submitted a proposal of around 65 million euros, but the German team decided to reject it and keep the player in their squad.

Liverpool can re-acquire him for 70 million
The main peculiarity of a potential operation lies in the hands of Liverpool. When they sold Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen, the English club included an option to bring back the defender for 70 million euros during 2027.
This clause can be activated until June 15, 2027, so any move by Real Madrid will have to first consider the decision of Anfield's side. If Liverpool executes that option, they would directly regain a player developed in their academy.
Interest around the defender is not limited to Madrid. Chelsea has also shown interest in his situation, while Arsenal already found out during the summer that Leverkusen had no intention of selling him for 65 million.
The contract until 2030 also allows Bayer Leverkusen to negotiate from a favorable position if Liverpool decides not to exercise their buy-back right. Currently, there is no publicly set figure for a sale to another club.
The next step will come in the following months. Real Madrid will continue to monitor Quansah before deciding whether to engage in an operation that will be conditioned by Liverpool, whose 70 million euros option expires on June 15, 2027.
