Barcelona are currently leading the race to sign Jonathan Tah, who has attracted interest from a host of clubs in recent months – including Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. The German defender will not sign a new contract with Bayer Leverkusen, meaning he can agree on a pre-contract from next month.
According to Relevo, Barcelona wants to complete a deal for Tah as quickly as possible. Their idea is to anticipate the competition – especially from Bayern – by offering a deal as soon as possible, and they hope an agreement will be completed in January.
Barcelona are very interested in adding Tah to their centre-backs. If he were to join, his arrival would almost certainly mean one defender would leave next summer. As things stand now, the choice would be between Andreas Christensen and Eric Garcia.
