Bayer Leverkusen’s CEO, Fernando Carro, has openly expressed the club’s intention to extend the contract of central defender Jonathan Tah. In a recent statement to SkyDE, Carro emphasized the trust the club places in Tah and their hope for his continued presence in the team. “We want to extend Jonathan Tah’s contract, he knows we trust him and we hope he stays,” Carro stated.
The urgency of the situation is clear as Carro also mentioned the club’s strategy to avoid losing players without a transfer fee. “We’re not losing players for free so it’s extend or sell him this summer,” he explained. This statement underscores the club’s position on securing Tah’s services or potentially placing him on the transfer market if an agreement is not reached.
Jonathan Tah has been in excellent form for Bayer Leverkusen, as highlighted by his performances since the start of the season. His contributions have been vital in the heart of Leverkusen’s defence, showcasing why the club is keen to secure his future. The current contract discussions aim to extend his stay beyond 2025, reflecting Leverkusen’s long-term planning and confidence in Tah’s abilities.
