Jarell Quansah targeted by Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Arsenal

Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah has become a primary target for several major European football clubs. The 23-year-old England international, who joined the Bundesliga side from Liverpool in 2025, is attracting significant interest from Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Arsenal.

Real Madrid is reportedly tracking Quansah to bolster a defense that has struggled with consistency. His close relationship with teammate Jude Bellingham is noted as a potential factor in any move. Meanwhile, Chelsea has reportedly made inquiries regarding the defender to strengthen their backline under manager Xabi Alonso.

Arsenal previously submitted a bid of approximately €65 million (£55 million) that was rejected by Leverkusen, though they remain interested. A significant complication for interested clubs is a €70 million buy-back clause held by Liverpool, which remains valid until June 2027 and could allow the former club to reclaim the player.
