Liverpool are on the brink of a brilliant deal. Here are the full details.
Liverpool have already struck several notable deals this summer and we're not yet in July. The most notable is Florian Wirtz, of course.
The Reds broke their club transfer record to sign the Germany playmaker from Bayer Leverkusen. An initial £100m went to the Bundesliga club, and that could rise to around £117m, which would be a British transfer record.
Is that the deal of the window, though? Signing Jeremie Frimpong to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold for under £30m was also a brilliant move. Liverpool took advantage of a release clause there to send yet more money to Leverkusen.
But then Alexander-Arnold's sale was genius. Liverpool got £10m from Real Madrid for the final month of his contract - a month in which he wouldn't have even played for the club.
It was genuinely money for nothing.
And now Liverpool are on the brink of another deal that might just end up being the pick of the bunch in the long-term.
That's right, yet another deal between Liverpool and Leverkusen. This time it's in the other direction, though.
Liverpool are set to sell Jarell Quansah to Leverkusen for around €30m. It's potentially a brilliant signing for the German side, given Quansah was viewed as one of the best young centre-back prospects around just a year ago.
A difficult season dropped his valuation, of course, but Liverpool have still managed to bank on the player here. They've negotiated a buy-back clause into the deal.
It's a sign that the Reds still feel Quansah could end up being an elite defender, even if they don't feel that potential will be realised at Anfield. Instead, they'll hope he excels at Leverkusen enough that they want to buy him back.
Per Kicker, Liverpool will get that €30m initially and can then buy Quansah back for around €60m down the line. The clause will only come into effect in 2027, however.
So it's safe to say that he'll stay where he is for the next two years. After that, however, Liverpool may decide to bring their homegrown talent back to the club, essentially paying Leverkusen €30m to develop him.
