Real Madrid are reportedly targeting a permanent transfer for Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah, according to German outlet BILD. Manager Jose Mourinho is considering the 23-year-old England international to bolster his defense after Arsenal failed with a £55 million bid during the summer. If signed, Quansah would become the third English player in Madrid's squad alongside Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
