Bayern Munich Secures Jonathan Tah on Free Transfer from Leverkusen

Completing medicals at Bayern’s facility, the 29-year-old defender signed a contract until 2029 to reinforce a backline that faltered in last season’s Champions League.

Overview

  • Tah joined Bayern as a free agent after his Bayer Leverkusen contract expired on June 30, 2025.
  • He completed medical examinations in Munich before finalizing a four-year deal that runs through 2029.
  • Tah is set to partner Dayot Upamecano in central defence, a move that could push Kim Min-jae down the pecking order.
  • His arrival directly addresses Bayern’s defensive shortcomings from last season, notably their early Champions League exit.
  • Bayern’s pursuit of Tah extended over a year and the club adjusted its Club World Cup plans to bring him in ahead of schedule.
