In total he made 53 senior appearances for Liverpool, scoring three goals and also winning the Carabao Cup in 2023/24. He makes his move to Bayer Leverkusen, now managed by former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, having played a key role in England's U21 European Championship success in Slovakia.

A statement on Liverpool's official website read: "Everybody at LFC would like to thank Jarell for his contributions and wish him the very best for the future. " Meanwhile, Liverpool have rejected an approach from Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz. Max Eberl, Bayern's sporting director, has been told the 28-year-old is not for sale, and discussions have gone no further since. It is the second time this summer the Reds have rejected interest in the forward, having issued the same message to Barcelona earlier in the window. Liverpool will not entertain any approaches for the Colombian, who has also been of interest to Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr this summer. Liverpool executives view Diaz as pivotal for the coming seasons. Diaz was a key part of Liverpool's Premier League title win last season as he scored 13 goals and provided five assists. From next season, Sky Sports' Premier League coverage will increase from 128 matches to at least 215 games exclusively live.
