Barcelona hold positive talks with Jonathan Tah over free summer transfer

Barcelona have taken massive steps in their pursuit of Jonathan Tah, making an initial proposal to the defender for a potential move in June 2025, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Catalan club’s talks have progressed, positioning them ahead of Bayern Munich in the competition to secure the German-born Ivorian defender’s signature.

The report indicates that a recent meeting with Tah’s representatives, including Pini Zahavi and Deco, yielded positive discussions. Notably, Tah himself was present at this meeting, indicating Barcelona’s serious interest in the player.

As the Bayer Leverkusen captain is set to become a free agent in June, his availability has attracted attention from several top clubs.

The 28-year-old shares an agent with notable figures such as Hansi Flick and Robert Lewandowski, which could play a role in negotiations.

While Real Madrid had shown some interest in Tah, they are currently viewed as outsiders in the race for the defender.

With Barcelona now seen as the frontrunners, the coming months will be crucial as they work to finalize a deal that would bolster their defensive lineup ahead of the next season.
