Real Madrid already appears to have its sights set on the next summer transfer window, and one of the names on its radar is Jarell Quansah. According to Bild, the Spanish giants are closely monitoring the Bayer Leverkusen defender, who has gained prominence since arriving in German football.

The 23-year-old English center-back is said to be one of the candidates being considered by the Madrid club as it looks to strengthen its defensive line.

Quansah impresses in Germany

Quansah joined Bayer Leverkusen in 2025 from Liverpool in a deal worth around €35 million.

Since then, the England international has delivered strong performances in Germany, and his development has reportedly caught Real Madrid’s attention, with the club continuing to track his situation ahead of next summer.

His age and experience in both English and German football make him a profile that fits the type of targets Real Madrid is believed to be pursuing.

Real Madrid wants to add defenders

According to Bild, the Madrid club aims to sign at least two defenders during the next summer transfer window.

The search is said to be linked to the need to increase the options available at the back, which is why Quansah has emerged as one of the players being watched by the club.

For now, the interest remains at the monitoring stage, and there is no talk of a formal offer from Real Madrid.

Arsenal is also keeping an eye on him

Real Madrid is not the only club interested in the English defender. Arsenal is also continuing to monitor Quansah’s situation and is among the teams that have shown interest in the player.

With several clubs following his progress, the future of the Bayer Leverkusen center-back could become one of the storylines to watch in the next transfer window.
