While Barcelona are frantically trying to secure their accounts to sign Dani Olmo and Pau Victor before the end of the year, that hasn't stopped Sporting Director Deco from going about his business. Barcelona's first signing of 2025 is expected to be Jonathan Tah.
According to Relevo, Bayern Munich have given up hope of signing the Bayer Leverkusen defender. The 28-year-old is 'on the verge' of signing for Barcelona, and they will look to complete the deal in the opening days of January. With his current contract expiring this summer, Barcelona could sign him in a matter of hours.

Tah's arrival is expected to herald the departure of other Barcelona defenders. Eric Garcia's days at the club appear to be numbered, while Andreas Christensen will also be put up for sale this summer when Tah arrives. The other moving part is Ronald Araujo: if Barcelona cannot agree a new contract with the Uruguayan, their plans for Christensen could change. If Tah signs on the dotted line, he will be available to Hansi Flick next summer alongside Inigo Martinez and Pau Cubarsi.
