Jonathan Tah Reportedly Chooses FC Barcelona Over Bayern Munich

The German defender, whose contract with Bayer Leverkusen ends in June, is said to favor a move to Barcelona despite Bayern's interest.

  • Jonathan Tah, 29, is set to leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer as his contract expires in June, making him a free agent.
  • Multiple reports suggest Tah has decided to join FC Barcelona, turning down a financially stronger offer from Bayern Munich.
  • Tah's connection with Barcelona coach Hansi Flick, who previously managed him on the German national team, is believed to have influenced his decision.
  • Barcelona reportedly began informal talks with Tah's representatives in December, with official negotiations starting in January per FIFA rules.
  • The move hinges on Barcelona freeing up financial resources, potentially by offloading another defender, such as Andreas Christensen.
