Barcelona are making significant strides in their pursuit of Jonathan Tah, with the club expressing optimism about securing the German defender’s signature as a free agent.
According to reports, Barcelona director Deco recently met with Tah and his agents in Germany, following a positive and productive discussion regarding a potential move to Camp Nou.
Tah, 28, is currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga but has reportedly decided against signing a new contract with the club when his current deal expires in 2025.
Barcelona, who are looking to strengthen their defense, have positioned themselves as the front-runners for Tah’s services, with their meeting on Thursday signaling a step closer to finalizing the transfer.
The discussions between Barcelona and Tah’s camp were described as “positive,” with both parties expressing interest in finalizing the move for the summer transfer window.
Barcelona are now seen as clear favorites to sign the towering center-back, who has been a key player for Bayer Leverkusen over the past few years.
While the deal is not yet concluded, Barça’s optimism comes as a result of Tah’s decision to leave Leverkusen in July and his apparent willingness to explore new challenges.
Barcelona’s chief competition for Tah’s signature appears to be Bayern Munich, who have also expressed interest in the player.
However, reports suggest that Barça currently hold the advantage in the race for Tah, who is represented by renowned agent Pini Zahavi.
Zahavi, who also represents Bayern coach Hansi Flick, has been pivotal in negotiating high-profile moves, and his involvement is seen as a positive indicator for Barcelona.
Despite Barcelona’s optimism, there are still some details to iron out, but the club is confident that a deal can be struck in the coming months.
Barcelona’s defensive lineup has been a priority for improvement, and Tah’s experience in the Bundesliga and his physical presence in the air would add depth to a defense that has been in need of reinforcements.
With the summer transfer window still months away, Barcelona fans will be watching closely as the club works to finalize Tah’s move.
If successful, the signing would represent another significant acquisition for the Catalan club as they continue to rebuild under coach Xavi Hernández.
