Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah is edging closer to a summer move to FC Barcelona, with the Catalan club intensifying their pursuit.
Reports suggest that Barça’s sporting director, Deco, traveled to Leverkusen today to meet with Tah and his advisors. The face-to-face talks were described as highly positive, with both parties moving swiftly towards an agreement.
The German international defender, born in Hamburg to an Ivorian father and German mother, has long been on Barcelona’s radar as a crucial defensive reinforcement. With negotiations progressing well, Tah’s potential arrival could provide a significant boost to Barça’s backline.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich, who had also expressed interest in the 27-year-old, seem to be losing ground in the race for his signature.
While Barcelona capitalizes on direct and efficient discussions, Bayern’s chances of landing the player are diminishing. With both clubs vying for Tah’s services, Barcelona appears to be in the driver’s seat as the summer transfer window approaches.
