The 22-year-old defender, who struggled for regular game time under Arne Slot last season, has verbally agreed personal terms with the Bundesliga outfit, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Liverpool, the reigning Premier League champions, have been in negotiations with Leverkusen for weeks, with the German side initially hesitant to meet the Reds' valuation of between 40 and 45 million euros.
However, recent reports indicate that the clubs have now settled on a fee closer to 35 million euros, a club-record transfer for Leverkusen. The deal remains separate from Liverpool's recent acquisitions of Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong from the same club, underlining the strong transfer relationship between the two teams.
Quansah, who made 13 Premier League appearances for Liverpool last season but started only four, has expressed a desire for more regular football. "I'm in a very good position to take the next step," he said while on international duty with England's Under-21s, hinting at his readiness for a new challenge.
His limited minutes under Slot, coupled with the emergence of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as the preferred centre-back pairing, have paved the way for this potential move.
Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg has dismissed speculation linking Leverkusen with Sevilla's Loic Bade, confirming Quansah as their primary target to replace Jonathan Tah, who joined Bayern Munich earlier this window.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are already eyeing Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi as a potential replacement for Quansah, with reports suggesting they are preparing a significant bid for the England international.
As of June 20, Romano reported that the transfer could be finalized within the next 24 to 48 hours, with a base fee of 30 million pounds plus 5 million pounds in add-ons.
Neither Liverpool, Leverkusen, nor Quansah have issued official statements on social media platforms like X, but the momentum behind this deal suggests an announcement is imminent.
For Quansah, the move to Leverkusen offers a chance to shine in a new league, while Liverpool continue their squad rebuild with an eye on defending their Premier League crown.
