FC Barcelona, who had shown interest in signing Jonathan Tah, now faces unexpected competition. The German defender, whose contract with Bayer Leverkusen ends in the summer, has attracted the interest of two major European clubs.
Tah, 28 years old, has been a key player in Bayer Leverkusen’s defense in recent years. His imposing physical presence, combined with his ability to read the game and skill on the ball, has made him one of the standout defenders in the Bundesliga. However, his contract expires at the end of this season, allowing him to negotiate with other clubs from January onwards, and several elite teams are already in line to secure his services.
Barcelona, aiming to strengthen their defense with quality players to remain competitive in both LaLiga and European competitions, had shown clear interest in the center-back. With the departure of veteran players and the need to improve the squad depth, Tah was seen as an affordable option due to being a free agent.
The two European giants will do everything possible to sign Jonathan Tah.
However, the scenario has become complicated with the involvement of two Premier League clubs. Chelsea, still looking for defensive balance, and Tottenham, also seeking to strengthen their defense for the upcoming season, have started closely monitoring Tah’s movements. Both teams have the financial capacity to offer him a lucrative contract and an appealing project, putting pressure on Barcelona to act swiftly.
The fact that Jonathan Tah’s contract is expiring with Bayer Leverkusen makes him a highly sought-after target, as his signing would be cost-free, attracting numerous teams seeing a unique opportunity to bolster their squads without transfer fees.
As the transfer market approaches, teams will strive to secure the central defender on a free transfer, aiming to incorporate him into their ranks for the upcoming season.
