Jonathan Tah Plans Summer Departure
Jonathan Tah, the center-back for Bayer Leverkusen, has confirmed he intends to leave the club following the conclusion of the current season, with his contract ending this summer.
Confirmation of Departure
After a recent match against St. Pauli, Tah articulated his decision to part ways with the club. He acknowledged that he had previously communicated his plans to the club, stating, “I’ve always been transparent about it” and emphasized that he will not be renewing his contract.
Future Plans Uncertain
While Tah has confirmed his intent to depart, he has not disclosed any immediate plans regarding his next club. In his own words, he remarked, “I don’t have a timeframe” for when he will announce his future destination, indicating he is still considering his options.
Speculation on Next Club
The announcement has sparked speculation about potential suitors. Notably, FC Barcelona is reportedly interested in signing him, although the club’s financial constraints may complicate matters. Previous interest from Bayern Munich surfaced last year, but negotiations were stalled due to disagreements over transfer fees.
In addition to Barcelona, various clubs from the Premier League and Serie A have expressed interest in the experienced defender, including Real Madrid. However, as of now, no formal offers have been made.
