Liverpool are unlikely to re-sign Jarell Quansah this summer, according to The Pitch Prospect.
However, the Bayer Leverkusen defender remains committed to his long-term considerations.

Quansah made his move to the Bundesliga club in July after spending 17 years with Liverpool.
The academy graduate is understood to have a release clause worth around £52million in his Leverkusen contract.
This follows his £35million exit from Anfield last summer, which saw Quansah sign a five-year contract in Germany.
Liverpool’s defensive options
Liverpool are already preparing to welcome Jeremy Jacquet to the club in the summer.
The Frenchman completed his move from Rennes in February and joined the Reds ahead of next season.
Jacquet hopes to be able to start again at his current club after shoulder surgery at the end of the season.
Giovanni Leoni is also aiming to return next season.
The summer newcomer has been out since September due to a torn cruciate ligament.
Quansah came through Liverpool’s academy after joining the club in 2008.
He made his Premier League debut at the age of 20 in August 2023 under Jürgen Klopp.

By the time he was sold to Leverkusen, the 23-year-old had made 58 first-team appearances.
In these games, Quansah scored three goals for the club as a central defender.
He was also part of the side that won the Premier League last season, as well as two previous Carabao Cup triumphs.
Since moving to Leverkusen, Quansah has appeared 32 times in all competitions, scoring four goals.
The England international also made his senior team debut in November.
Thomas Tuchel gave Quansah his first appearance for the Three Lions in the World Cup qualifier against Albania.

This came 17 months after his first nomination under Gareth Southgate in June 2024 ahead of the European Championships in the summer.
Quansah has already won both the U19 and U21 European Championships in his career.
The Pitch Prospect verdict
Andy Brassell discussed the possibility of Quansah returning to Anfield last month.
Speaking exclusively to The Pitch Prospect, the European football journalist said: “I wonder if Jarell Quansah might come back at some point. I think that has to be a question too.”
“We’ve already seen that with players who went to the Bundesliga.
“Or are you even thinking about going back again, letting Dani Carvajal spend his year at Leverkusen before returning to Real Madrid and becoming a Real Madrid legend? That’s always a possibility, I think.”
