Liverpool have reportedly struck a deal that is even more incredible than first thought. It’s remarkable from Richard Hughes and company.
Liverpool have struck several deals already this summer. It’s not even July.

But the Reds have already smashed their transfer record by signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. Jeremie Frimpong joins him from the Bundesliga side, too, as Liverpool’s new right-back.
Armin Pecsi is a new arrival – he’s one for the future but an enormously highly-rated goalkeeper. Certainly a player Liverpool hope can force his way into the first-team one day.
There have been exits, of course. Trent Alexander-Arnold is the most notable, joining Real Madrid for £10m.
That was quite an incredible deal, too, as the club essentially sold one month of his contract.
Caoimhin Kelleher is another departing the club. He’s joined Brentford in a fully deserved move.
Liverpool, though, have another exit on the way – and it’s a truly brilliant deal.

Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen
Jarell Quansah is expected to leave Liverpool for Bayer Leverkusen. We’re really only waiting on England Under 21s to finish their UEFA European Championships campaign.
The deal is, per Sky Germany, for around €30m as a fixed fee plus add-ons. It’s a lot of money for a player who didn’t feature much for Liverpool last season.
But it’s also a sign of his incredible potential. Rewind one year and Quansah was one of the most exciting young defenders around.
The truly remarkable thing about all of this, though, is the buy back clause. Now, we thought that buyback clause looked like genius when Bild claimed it was at around €60m.
After all, it meant that if Quansah does fulfill his potential, Liverpool can buy him back. The deal simply becomes paying Leverkusen €30m to develop him into a top-class player.
If he doesn’t work out, it’s €30m for a player who wasn’t going to make it. Liverpool can’t lose all that much – save for €30m.
But Sky Germany’s claim is that the buyback is around €40m. Now, that seems too good to be true.

Liverpool essentially can’t lose there. If Quansah makes it, they just buy him back for what it roughly the same price. We’re honestly not sure why Leverkusen would agree to that as they’d take on literally all the risk with no obvious reward.
