Quansah's departure: Liverpool finalised the sale of academy graduate and England defender Jarell Quansah to German side Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2025.

The young centre-back has since excelled in the Bundesliga, prompting the Reds to consider bringing him back to Anfield to reinforce their defensive depth.

Buy-back agreement: As part of the original transfer agreement, Liverpool negotiated a substantial buy-back clause valued at £70million .

This mechanism ensures the Merseysiders maintain control over the defender's long-term future despite his current success abroad.

Tiered valuation: However, this specific buy-back option would be even cheaper if Liverpool waited until next summer's transfer window.
