Bayer Leverkusen is actively seeking to secure the future of their key defender, Jonathan Tah, by extending his contract past its current 2025 expiration. Simon Rolfes, the club’s director, confirmed the club’s intentions in a recent statement to BILD. Rolfes expressed a strong desire to retain Tah at the club, emphasizing the mutual interest in discussing the extension once the season concludes.
Club and Player in Agreement
According to Rolfes, both the club and Tah are on the same page regarding the future. Discussions about the contract extension are set to take place after the ongoing season ends. This strategic timing allows both parties to focus on the immediate challenges of the season without the distraction of contract negotiations.
Tah’s Impact at Leverkusen
Jonathan Tah has been a pivotal player for Bayer Leverkusen, consistently demonstrating top form. His performances have not only solidified the defence but have also contributed to the team’s overall stability and success. The decision to extend his contract reflects his value to the team and the club’s commitment to building a strong squad for the future.
“We want to keep Jonathan Tah and extend him beyond 2025,” Rolfes told BILD, underscoring the importance of Tah to Leverkusen’s plans. This move is indicative of Leverkusen’s strategy to maintain continuity and strength in their squad as they prepare for future competitions.
