Barça is seriously interested in strengthening defense with Jonathan Tah, the German center-back from Bayer Leverkusen. Laporta has made progress in negotiations and has discovered the player's conditions, which include a gross salary of several million euros per year and an unexpected contract. Tah, 28, is an attractive option for Barça, which is looking for a reliable center-back to complement the squad.
Jonathan Tah Terminates His Contract but He's Not Leaving for Free
Jonathan Tah has been a key pillar in the Bayer Leverkusen defense, standing out for his imposing physique and his ability to lead defense. Throughout his career, he's shown remarkable consistency and a great ability to read the game, making him a very attractive option for Barça.
The club's interest in Jonathan Tah is not new. Barça tried to sign him during the last transfer window, although conditions were not met. However, for next summer, Tah is free and could arrive at Camp Nou for free, although there's a catch.
The Conditions for Jonathan Tah's Transfer
Barça has worked hard to structure an offer in line with its financial limitations. Jonathan Tah has been tempted by several big European clubs, but Barça's project and the possibility of competing in La Liga seem to have seduced the German center-back. However, in order to sign for FC Barcelona, the centre-back is asking for 10 million euros gross per season, a demand that is within the parameters that the club handles.
As for the length of the contract, it seems that Jonathan Tah is looking for a minimum of three years. He knows that Barça is an opportunity to advance in his professional career and he doesn't want to waste it, but he has conditions. For the Catalan club, the arrival of the German player would be a key strategic move, especially considering he would arrive for a reasonable amount.
The Search for Reinforcements in Defense
Barça has identified defense as one of the areas to strengthen in the coming seasons. With players such as Araújo and Christensen injured, the sporting management is looking for long-term solutions. Jonathan Tah fits that profile perfectly, bringing experience, quality and physicality to the culé defense.
