Barcelona held talks with Bayer Leverkusen\u2019s Jonathan Tah as they want him on priority in 2025. The current contract of the defender ends in 2025 and he will not sign new deal. Bayern were initially in talks with the centre-back, but now Barcelona are leading the race for him.<\/p>\n
FC Barcelona have reportedly held talks with Bayer Leverkusen\u2019s star defender Jonathan Tah, as they aim to secure the centre-back on a priority basis for the 2025 summer transfer window. The German international\u2019s current contract with Leverkusen expires in 2025, and he has made it clear that he will not extend his stay with the Bundesliga side.<\/p>\n
Initially, Bayern Munich seemed to be in pole position to sign the 28-year-old, but Barcelona have emerged as the frontrunners in the race for Tah\u2019s signature. The Catalan giants see him as a key player to strengthen their backline, especially as they continue to rebuild under Xavi Hernandez.<\/p>\n
Tah, known for his commanding presence, aerial ability, and composure on the ball, has been a standout performer for Leverkusen. His experience at both club and international levels makes him a highly sought-after target.<\/p>\n
Barcelona\u2019s proactive approach could prove decisive in landing the talented defender, but they might face stiff competition from other European clubs if Leverkusen decides to cash in on Tah before his contract runs out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
