LIVE FROM ANFIELD: Liverpool Agree £34M Deal for Quansah — Kerkez Set for Medical Ahead of Transfer
Liverpool have reached a significant double breakthrough in the transfer market this summer. The club has reportedly agreed a £34 million deal to send young defender Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen, while Milos Kerkez is set to undergo a medical at Anfield tomorrow ahead of a potential move.
Quansah, 21, has impressed with his composure, strength, and maturity since breaking into Liverpool’s senior squad last season. His performances attracted interest from several European clubs, but it’s Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen who moved quickest to finalize a deal. However, the move won’t be fully completed until Quansah wraps up his duties with England’s U21 squad — a move seen as a mark of respect for his international commitments.
While fans may be disappointed to see a homegrown talent depart, the transfer fee is considered smart business, especially as Arne Slot continues to reshape the squad.
In more positive news for Reds supporters, Kerkez, the 20-year-old Hungarian left-back from Bournemouth, is expected to become Liverpool’s next signing. Known for his aggressive playing style, dribbling ability, and defensive instincts, Kerkez is viewed as a long-term solution at left-back — especially with Andy Robertson now 30 and Kostas Tsimikas potentially heading for the exit.
There’s a sense of momentum around Anfield. Arne Slot is clearly building with purpose — and Liverpool’s moves in the market show they’re not just active… they’re being strategic.
