Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarrell Quansah has disclosed that his decision to leave Liverpool and join the Bundesliga side was straightforward. The 23-year-old made the move last summer in a deal worth £35m after progressing through Liverpool's academy and making 58 appearances for the first team. Quansah signed a five-year contract with Leverkusen, seeking more playing time, and has since made 38 appearances this season. He attributed his decision to the Leverkusen management's clear plan for him, which aligned with his own ambitions.
Quansah expressed his desire to play at the top level, and the opportunity to compete in the Champions League and participate in high-profile games like the upcoming DFB Pokal semi-final against Bayern was a significant factor. He reflected on his departure from Liverpool, stating that he trusted his instincts and took the time to consider what was best for his career.
Quansah is now focused on performing well in the remaining games of the season to increase his chances of being selected for England's World Cup squad. Having withdrawn from the latest selection due to a thigh injury, he is determined to prove himself on the pitch and make a strong case for inclusion in the squad.
