Liverpool defender Quansah signs for Bayer Leverkusen

According to British and German press, the transfer fee for the 22-year-old could go up to 40 million euros ($47 million), including 10 million euros in add-ons. German specialist media Kicker and The Athletic also reported the inclusion of a 60-million-euros buy-back clause in the contract, which Liverpool could activate from summer 2027 to re-sign Quansah. "We are very happy to be able to sign Jarell Quansah, one of the most promising English central defenders," said Leverkusen managing director of sport Simon Rolfes. "He made a very impressive contribution to a Liverpool defence full of world-class players. Jarell will give our defence extra dynamism, tempo and strength." Quansah becomes the most expensive signing in Leverkusen's history, following on from the previous record arrival of midfielder Kerem Demirbay for 32 million euros in 2019. The 2025 European under-21 champion with England joined Liverpool's academy as a five-year-old, and rose through the ranks before making his first-team debut in 2023. He went on to appear 58 times for the Merseysiders, winning the League Cup in 2022 and 2024, as well as the Premier League title last season. After playing second fiddle to first-choice defensive duo Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate for much of the 2024/25 campaign, Quansah arrives at Leverkusen to replace departed former captain Jonathan Tah at the heart of the Bundesliga club's defence. "The ambitious targets here were clearly explained to me during the negotiations. It's a great role and challenge for me to be part of the current Leverkusen rebuild," said Quansah. After creating league history by winning the Bundesliga undefeated in 2024, Leverkusen endured a difficult title defence last term, finishing 13 points adrift of winners Bayern Munich. Stars of their league-and-cup double from two seasons years ago, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, have recently gone in the opposite direction from Quansah, joining Liverpool from Leverkusen this close-season.

Hoffenheim leaves the door open for a Leo Østigård return

Kicker reports that Hoffenheim have left the door open for a permanent return for defender Leo Østigård. The Norwegian spent the second half of last season on loan at Hoffenheim, and the Bundesliga side was able to negotiate the buy option down for the defender with parent club Rennes from €10m to €7m. Advertisement The original plan was that only one of Øsitgaard or new signing Koki Machida would join the club this summer, and since the arrival of the Japanese defender from Union Saint-Gilloise, it looked unlikely it would be the 27-year-old, but the door is now open. On top of this, Hoffenheim are looking to offload Stanley Nsoki, Attila Szalai, Robert Hranac and Arthur Chaves this summer. However, only Chaves is likely to attract any teams, and Hoffenheim will sell the 24-year-old if the right offer arrives. After finishing 15th in the Bundesliga last season, Hoffenheim have been busy with the signings of Bernardo from Bochum and Köln's Tim Lemperle on free transfers as well as midfielder Leon Avdullahu from Basel.

Bayer Leverkusen reach agreement with PSV's Malik Tillman

Bayer Leverkusen's search for a successor to Florian Wirtz continues. Kicker report that the Bundesliga side have reached an agreement with PSV's Malik Tillman although there is a debate surrounding the player's release clause. The American has a reported €35m exit clause but, according to Voetbal International, this only applied to Bayern Munich, who sold Tillman to PSV last summer for €12m. The 23-year-old, who was born in Germany but holds American citizenship, scored 12 goals and provided two assists as Peter Bosz' PSV pipped Ajax to the Eredivisie title. Advertisement Kicker add that Tillman's €35m clause also applies to them from a certain date while PSV deny this, claiming that Bayern Munich are the only club that can benefit from the clause. But the Dutch side have been in a similar position before, which, per Kicker, 'gives reason not to necessarily follow the Eindhoven version.' In the case of Xavi Simons, in 2023 it emerged that Xavi could return to Paris Saint-Germain in an agreement that was valid for one year, which turned out to be for two seasons. And the €12m fee that PSV had thought was included in the contract, later turned out to be a €6m buy-back clause, €2m of which went to the player. GGFN | Daniel Pinder

Bayern Munich join race to sign Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens

Kicker reports that Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are getting serious about acquiring young English talent Jamie Gittens. Chelsea have also set their sights on the Borussia Dortmund professional, but the English and German club remain far apart in negotiations over the transfer fee. Bayern board-member-for-sport Max Eberl has left the Club World Cup and returned to Germany in order to take a more active role in shoring up his club's summer purchases. The German publication has plenty of news to offer up on other candidates Eberl and the FCB front office are considering. Advertisement Kicker notes that FCB moves for Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao), Rafael Leo (AC Milan), and Cody Gakpo (Liverpool are appearing less likely to join the German giants. Williams is reported to prefer a move to FC Barcelona. Gakpo – with a price tag of €70m – is considered a disproportionate investment. Leo could still head to Bavaria, with former Serie A defender Kim Min-jae serving as a bargaining chip in a potential swap deal. Other players such as Bradley Barcola of Paris St. Germain and Kaoru Mitoma of Brighton & Hove Albion, are no longer serious targets for Eberl and his staff. Kicker cites its own sources to claim that Eberl has already held talks with Gittens' entourage. Given that Dortmund held firm against Chelsea's pursuit of the 20-year-old, organizing a transfer sham, not prove easy. Even a fourth Chelsea bid totaling some €55m was said to be rejected by BVB.
