The future of Jonathan Tah seems increasingly linked to FC Barcelona. The German center-back, who has been on the Blaugrana's radar for months, has seen his main competitor for his services, Bayern Munich, decide to step back from the race. Christoph Freund, sporting director of the Bavarian club, confirmed that Tah is not in their plans: "Our defense is at a high level, and we do not consider signing him for the next season."
This decision leaves Barcelona in a privileged position to secure the Bayer Leverkusen defender, although the operation is still uncertain. The Catalan club has a wide range of defenders, but coach Hansi Flick sees Tah's incorporation with good eyes, as long as there is space cleared in the squad.
Jonathan Tah wants to play for Barcelona
The German has so far rejected any renewal offer from Leverkusen, holding onto the hope of arriving at Camp Nou as a free agent next summer. Barça has already initiated talks with his agent, Pini Zahavi, but the defender's arrival will depend on the departure of a central defender. Ronald Araújo and Pau Cubarsí are untouchable after their recent renewals, while Iñigo Martínez also has his continuity guaranteed. However, as reported by the newspaper Sport, Andreas Christensen and Eric García could be sacrificed to make room for Tah.
If one of them eventually leaves the team, the addition of the German international would be the priority. Flick wants to strengthen the defense with a player he knows well, and Bayern's withdrawal from the equation leaves Barça with a clear path to finalize the operation. Now, everything will depend on the movements that occur in the coming months.
