Jarell Quansah’s Bayer Leverkusen medical scheduled for after U21 Euros | OneFootball

Kicker confirms that Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes travelled to the UEFA U21 European Championship in Slovakia to complete an important piece of business. Namely, the signing of Liverpool centre-back and England U21 international Jarell Quansah. Rolfes was at the Anton-Malatinsky-Stadion in Trnava on Saturday evening to seal the deal. A Bundesliga move is imminent.

Rolfes watched the England U21s defeat the Spanish U21s in their quarterfinal fixture. A Tiktok video showed him enjoying a snack in the stadium concourse. It stands to reason that Rolfes wasn’t in Slovakia to sample culinary fare or even kill a little time before watching the German U21s in their Sunday quarterfinal clash against Italy.

Rolfes remained on the hunt for a very special autograph. Quansah’s record signing has obviously not corresponded to the previously reported upon time due to the progression of the England U21s in the tournament. England’s quarterfinal win leaves Quansah committed to at least one more tournament match on Wednesday.

England face Holland in the semi-finals. Should Lee Carsley’s Juniors prevail, they will contest the tournament Final on Saturday. Kicker’s reliable Leverkusen correspondent Stephan van Nocks reports that a B04 medical will be the next top item on Quansah’s agenda.
