Bayern Munich remains keen on signing Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen despite their recent acquisition of Hiroki Ito from Stuttgart. The Bavarian giants are set to continue negotiations with Leverkusen, as they look to bolster their defensive options ahead of potential departures from their current squad.
Bayern’s determination in securing Tah’s services is evident, although there is a noted discrepancy between the clubs regarding the transfer fee. Bayern is reportedly prepared to persist in their pursuit, reflecting the strategic importance they place on strengthening their defence.
Jonathan Tah has expressed a preference for a move to Bayern Munich over other potential offers, including those from the Premier League. This interest from Tah aligns with Bayern’s intentions to reinforce their squad.
In related developments, Bayer Leverkusen has previously shown an interest in extending Tah’s contract, which is set to expire in 2025. Tah’s consistent performance levels have made him a valuable asset at Leverkusen, further complicating the transfer negotiations.
Bayern’s recent signing of Hiroki Ito has not deterred their interest in Tah, indicating a strategic approach to revamp their defensive line, especially considering that one or two centre-backs from their current lineup might leave during this summer transfer window.
