According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona are currently at the forefront in the pursuit of Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen, with negotiations progressing.
The 28-year-old German center-back has been a reliable figure for Leverkusen, and it now seems that Barcelona are eager to bolster their defense by bringing him to Camp Nou.
A noteworthy detail is that Hansi Flick, the head coach of the German national team, is reportedly involved in the talks, which may suggest a key role in facilitating the transfer, possibly due to Tah’s international experience.
Barcelona’s interest in Jonathan Tah likely arises from their need for defensive reinforcement, particularly with the ongoing injury concerns of some of their defenders.
Tah’s physicality and experience in the Bundesliga could align well with Xavi’s defensive tactics as the club seeks to strengthen their backline.
While no official deal has been reached yet, with negotiations advancing, a move could be close if an agreement is made.
