If Barcelona feels the need to add to their depth in the middle of the back, they have to find a new target because they lose Leverkusen on Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen. The Germany International no longer has a contract this summer and was available for free, but they were beaten to his signature.
Barcelona reportedly agreed with Tah some time ago, and for a while it seemed that he gave priority to a move to the Blaugrana. However, they could not guarantee that they could register him, with doubts about both their salary limit and told him that sale would be needed before he could be signed.
Bayern Munich had dropped their interest in Tah earlier in the year and assumes that he was moving to Barcelona. However, as the uncertainty continued, Bayern became interested and reopened conversations again. Christian Falk told CF Bayern Insider that, despite the fact that Barcelona knocked on the door again, the Bavarian side was self -confident, and then it seems that he has come to a definitive decision about his future.
Moreover, Bayern also looks at movements for two further players who are linked to Barcelona. The Blaugrana president Joan Laporta argues for Rafael Leao from AC Milan. Even if Hansi Flick and Director or Football Deco are less convinced. Florian Plettenberg explains that Bayern weigh a movement for the Portuguese.
Colleague Champions League Semi-Finalists Arsenal are also in conversations Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig, another players who were scouted by Barcelona earlier in the season when they weighed a movement for a striker. Since then they have decided to postpone the move, but Sesko may not be available if they are looking for a Robert Lewandowski successor.
Although the ties with Leao and Sesko didn't look serious for this summer, losing tah is more of a blow. He was set up as a potential alternative such as Ronald Araujo decides to continue this summer, but they may be more open to keep the Uruguayan now. Until now it seems that he is determined at least.
