Bayern Munich rule out January exit for Jonathan Tah amid Barcelona interest

Bayern Munich have no intention of selling Jonathan Tah during the January transfer window, with the German champions considering the defender untouchable despite reported interest from Barcelona.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Bayern regard the 30-year-old centre-back as unsellable in January as they look to maintain the strength of their squad for the remainder of the season.

The Bavarian club are determined not to weaken any key position, believing they have the quality to compete for every available trophy this season.

Barcelona interest unlikely to force Bayern’s hand

Recent reports from Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg revealed Barcelona’s interest in signing Tah.

However, Plettenberg indicated that the defender himself has no plans to leave Bayern during the winter transfer window.

Romano has now reinforced Bayern’s position, reporting that the club are unwilling to consider a January departure for the Germany international.

Although his situation could be reassessed in the summer, Bayern’s immediate priority is to retain their defensive options and avoid losing an important player midway through the campaign.

Tah remains important to Bayern

Tah is under contract with Bayern Munich until the summer of 2029, giving the club significant control over his future.

The centre-back has featured in 13 competitive matches across all competitions this season, starting 11 of them.

His involvement underlines his importance to the team, with Bayern keen to keep their defensive options intact as they pursue success on all fronts.
