Overview

• Tah has committed to a four-year contract with Bayern Munich running through 2029 after his Bayer Leverkusen deal expired.
• Bayern revived their pursuit of the 29-year-old centre-back following Eric Dier’s exit and a spate of injuries in their defensive ranks.
• Leverkusen’s right to demand a fee during the early June transfer window and Bayern’s Club World Cup schedule delayed the formal move.
• Tah brings leadership and ball-playing ability after a decade at Leverkusen that included an unbeaten Bundesliga and German Cup double in 2023-24.
• His arrival is expected to pair him with Dayot Upamecano and reshape the central defence, potentially pushing Kim Min-jae down the pecking order.
