FC Barcelona is about to recruit Jonathan Tah, German defender from Bayer Leverkusen, at the end of his contract in June. Advanced discussions, support from Hansi Flick: Barça is ahead of its rivals.
FC Barcelona could strike a big blow on the transfer market. At the end of his contract with Bayer Leverkusen in June 2025, Jonathan Tah, German international central defender, would be very close to joining the Blaugranas. According to El Chiringuitodiscussions between the player’s entourage and Barça are already well advanced. The Catalan club have moved a step ahead of rivals including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich who are also in the running for the player.
Hansi Flick, newly appointed head of Barça, would have been a key player in this matter. Having worked with Tah in the German selection, the technician would have directly requested his recruitment from the club management.
A defensive boon for Barça
At 27, Jonathan Tah would bring a dose of stability and experience to a Barcelona defense looking for reinforcements. His physical power and experience in the Bundesliga make him a strong asset. By signing a free player, Barça could save on transfer fees, a major asset for a club still under financial pressure.
Although Real Madrid and Bayern Munich remain on the lookout, Barça seem to have a head start in this battle. The coming weeks could seal this strategic agreement for the Blaugrana.
