Jonathan Tah, the towering centre-back of Bayer 04 Leverkusen, has made it clear that his top priority is a move to Bayern Munich. Despite substantial interest from both Premier League clubs and the Saudi Pro League, the German-Ivorian defender remains steadfast in his desire to join the Bundesliga giants.
Born in Hamburg, Germany, Tah has established himself as a formidable presence in the heart of Leverkusen’s defense since joining the club in 2015 for a €10 million transfer fee from Hamburger SV. Standing at 1.95 meters (6 ft 5 in), his physicality and defensive prowess have earned him 28 caps for the German national team.
Currently, no agreement has been reached between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich regarding Tah’s transfer. However, negotiations are ongoing, and both clubs are working towards a resolution. Tah’s contract with Bayer Leverkusen runs until June 30, 2025, following an extension signed on September 28, 2021. His market value is estimated at €30 million as of May 29, 2024.
During the 2023/2024 season, Tah made 31 appearances for Leverkusen, contributing one assist and receiving five yellow cards. His consistent performances have made him a sought-after player in the transfer market.
While Bayern Munich remains Tah’s preferred destination, the interest from Premier League clubs and the Saudi Pro League highlights his growing reputation. His versatility and experience make him an attractive target for top clubs seeking to bolster their defensive options.
Tah’s journey from Hamburger SV to Bayer Leverkusen and now potentially to Bayern Munich marks a significant step in his career. As the transfer window progresses, football fans eagerly await the outcome of these negotiations.
