Barcelona and Real Madrid will both be on the market for defenders, and they have both set their sights on a player who is available for free this summer: Jonathan Tah.
Tah has attracted interest from both clubs in recent months and he is also sought by Manchester United and Bayern Munich. The person who signs him will receive a deal without a transfer costs, because the German International has already announced that he is leaving Bayer Leverkusen after the expiry of his contract. '
And in an interview with Bild (via MD), Tah has now talked about his future. He has revealed that he has not yet chosen his next club.
“I will make a decision soon. I don't want to set a date. The truth is that it will not take two months.”
Tah also gave a hint to Barcelona and Real Madrid by saying that he would be very interested in playing outside of Germany.
“If you go to a place where you may not speak the language, it is a particularly challenging experience. This also applies to my position, which I naturally want to play within a team. It would require a lot of me to do something. That is why it is so attractive for me abroad.”
And specifically at Barcelona he was asked if he had doubts about their ability to register him, with a problem with some signing sessions in recent years.
“I have no influence on that. I can only make my own decisions and everything else should come from others.”
