liverpool have decided not to use a clause to bring back Jarrel Kwansa from Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
BILD reports that the defender Will remain with the German side until at least 2027. The Reds’ clause for this summer is set to expire soon.
liverpool transfer options
The newspaper reported that Liverpool acquired buy-back options for both 2026 and 2027 when they sold Quinsah for €35m last summer. However, the clause is set to expire soon this summer.
Bild has learned that the Reds have no intention of bringing back the 23-year-old this summer. To do this they would have to pay €80m.
Bringing in Jarrell Kwansa was a serious prospect for Arne Slott’s team after a season filled with defensive issues. But instead they’re leaving him in Germany for another season.
The plan is to allow him to further develop as a leader at Leverkusen and then return to Liverpool as a key player in 2027. They could sign him for €60m next summer. This valuation could be right on the money, with the defender currently valued at €45m.
This could grow with another solid season in Germany and potentially a role at the World Cup. He is in England’s squad for the tournament under Thomas Tuchel. The valuation means he is already Bayer Leverkusen’s most valuable player.
long term liverpool plan
But it seems Liverpool have a long-term plan with him. And that doesn’t include spending €80 million to bring him back to Anfield this summer.
The Reds already have Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Giovani Leoni and Joe Gomez as centre-back options. Jeremy Jacket is ready to add to that mix When that includes summer also.
However, Lyon is still struggling with a long-term injury, and new deals for Konate and Van Dijk have not yet been announced. So, there may be room for Kwansah in the mix, but Liverpool do not intend to bring him back until 2027.
