Barcelona is linked to Bayer Leverkusen -defender Jonathan Tah almost in the season, almost in the season, after he took a step for him at the end of August. With his contract this summer, the Blaugrana would like a quality option on a free, but there is doubt about his arrival in recent months.
Reports claimed that Tah agreed with Barcelona a few months ago after Bayern Munich had left the race for the German international. But after Ronald Araujo had signed a new contract until 2031, there was some confusion about where Tah would fit into their plans, if Araujo remains next to Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez. Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur recently also asked about his situation.
Nevertheless, Sport says that Barcelona has made it clear that they intend to sign him and that the circumstances are there to do this. On the one hand, they believe that they will be able to register players in the summer despite the recent reduction of their salary limit from La Liga. On the other hand, they also told Tah that there will be enough space in the team to compete for a starting point.
The Catalan daily says that Hansi Flick believes that the air power of Tah, the understanding of the game and the ability to jump the offside trap will help improve Barcelona. Italian giant Inter and AC Milan have also shown interest in Tah, but the 28-year-old will continue to prioritize Barcelona over other offers.
Somewhere in the chain this means that part of the report is not entirely true. It has recently been claimed that Barcelona believes that Arajo, who has a release clause of € 65 million in the first 15 days of the transfer market, will remain in the club. Nevertheless, the arrival of Tah almost seems to be a contingent at the sale of Arajo, while Andreas Christensen almost seems to be leaving. The future of Eric Garcia is also another topic that must be discussed.
