Overview

  • Tah signed a four-year contract with Bayern in May 2025 that officially begins July 1 and runs until summer 2029.
  • Without early release, Tah would only have been eligible to play from July 1, jeopardizing his participation in the tournament’s initial round.
  • FIFA opened an extra transfer window through June 10 to let clubs sign players or extend expiring contracts specifically for the Club World Cup.
  • Tah remains with Germany’s national team ahead of Sunday’s Nations League third-place match against France.
  • Midfielder Tom Bischof faces uncertain Club World Cup involvement after Hoffenheim declined a similar early-release agreement.
