Tottenham are now interested in signing ‘brilliant’ player from Liverpool
TBR Football can exclusively report that Liverpool centre-back Jarell Quansah has emerged as a sought-after target in this summer’s transfer market, with Bayer Leverkusen, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United all expressing strong interest in the highly-rated 22-year-old defender.
Liverpool have been especially proactive in the early weeks of the transfer window, already securing high-profile signings such as Jeremie Frimpong and finalising a mega-deal worth £127 million for Florian Wirtz, both from Bayer Leverkusen. These recent transactions have not only bolstered Arne Slot’s squad but have also significantly deepened the working relationship between the Reds and the German club—potentially paving the way for more business between the two sides.
As part of their continued discussions, TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey has revealed that Leverkusen have now turned their attention to Jarell Quansah, who featured prominently for Liverpool last season. Leverkusen reportedly discussed Quansah during negotiations for Wirtz and are now preparing a concrete move for the England youth international.
However, Leverkusen are not alone in their pursuit. Both Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are keeping tabs on Quansah’s situation and are considering launching bids of their own. Spurs see him as a potential long-term partner in their evolving backline under new head coach Thomas Frank, while Newcastle continue to seek reinforcements as part of their strategic rebuild in defense.
Liverpool Facing PSR Dilemma Amid Interest in Quansah
Despite the growing interest, Liverpool are not actively looking to part ways with the centre-back, who is viewed as a valuable asset for both the present and the future. However, the club’s stance could change if a substantial offer arrives. TBR reports that Liverpool have slapped a valuation of over £40 million on Quansah—an amount that some suitors consider steep, but potentially justifiable given his talent and homegrown status.
Importantly, selling Quansah would represent pure profit on the club’s books under Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) since he is a product of the club’s youth academy. This makes his sale financially attractive, especially in a window where the Reds are set to make significant outlays.
Graeme Bailey notes:
“Liverpool have some decisions to make at centre-half – they want another one, even if Quansah stays. They ideally don’t want him to go, but if they receive a substantial offer, he’s pure profit under PSR, which is a factor clubs are very mindful of.”
Busy Summer Ahead at Anfield as Transfers Continue to Take Shape
Liverpool’s board, under the stewardship of FSG, continues to manage the club with a strong focus on financial prudence. The Merseyside club posted profits last season and has kept spending moderate in recent years, which is why they’re in a position to push for big deals this summer without falling foul of financial regulations.
In addition to the Wirtz and Frimpong deals, Liverpool are reportedly closing in on Milos Kerkez, with a £40 million agreement nearly complete. Furthermore, the Reds are expected to invest over £100 million in acquiring a new striker as they aim to bolster their attacking options under new head coach Arne Slot.
However, the expected influx of new arrivals also means a wave of potential departures. Alongside Quansah, players like Darwin Nunez are believed to be on the chopping block, with the Uruguayan forward reportedly not featuring in Slot’s long-term plans. Luis Diaz, too, is facing an uncertain future amid serious interest from Al-Nassr, who are preparing a £72 million bid. Spanish giants Barcelona are also said to be monitoring the Colombian winger’s situation closely.
All signs point to a highly active summer at Anfield, where Liverpool are looking to reshape the squad with a blend of experienced stars and emerging talents. Whether Quansah remains part of that vision or is cashed in to fund further reinforcements remains one of the key questions as the transfer window progresses.
