FC Barcelona are pretty much guaranteed to enter the market for a new centre-forward in the summer of 2026. After all, Robert Lewandowski's contract expires at the end of the season, and there appear to be no plans for a renewal at the moment. Julian Alvarez is seen as the dream target by the Catalans, but a transfer appears impossible, given the club's finances as well as Atletico Madrid's stance on their star forward's future.
Leverkusen got off to a quick start, with Quansah scoring six minutes into his Bundesliga debut after connecting with Alejandro Grimaldo's free-kick and heading past Oliver Baumann. However, Quansah was caught cold at the other end when Asllani managed to evade him in the box before firing beyond Mark Flekken at the near post to equalise in the 25th minute.
