The 22-year-old defender, who rose through Liverpool’s academy and played a vital role in their title-winning campaign last season, revealed that his decision to leave Anfield wasn’t about money or fame — it was about growth.
> “I learned so much from the top players at Liverpool,” Quansah admitted. “But at this stage of my career, I need to play hundreds of games if I want to reach my potential. That’s why I made the move abroad.”
After more than 17 years with Liverpool, Quansah completed a £30 million transfer to Bayer Leverkusen, joining Xabi Alonso’s high-flying Bundesliga side. The move shocked supporters still adjusting to life under Arne Slot, but the young centre-back insists it was a step he needed to take.
Under Alonso’s guidance, Quansah has been a standout performer — playing every minute of Leverkusen’s first nine matches and even scoring on his Bundesliga debut with a powerful header against Hoffenheim. “It’s intense here,” he smiled. “Every game pushes me to be better.”
His departure has left a noticeable gap at Anfield. Liverpool, now struggling with defensive issues and missing Quansah’s composure at the back, reportedly regret not finding a replacement in time. Despite that, Quansah remains respectful toward his boyhood club:
> “No regrets. Liverpool will always be part of me, but this was the right move for my career,” he said.
With his impressive performances in Germany and a potential first England cap on the horizon, Quansah’s brave decision is quickly proving to be the right one. And while Liverpool fans may still feel the sting of his exit, one thing’s certain — the Warrington-born talent is writing a new chapter abroad, and the football world is watching 🌍⚽🔥.
