FC Barcelona is getting closer to one of the most desired center-backs in the market. Jonathan Tah has publicly confirmed that he will not continue at Bayer Leverkusen when the current season ends, a decision he had already communicated to the German club and has now made official. The German international, whose contract ends in June, has expressed his intention to face new challenges away from the Bundesliga, and his desire to wear the Blaugrana shirt is strong.

Tah was already on the radar of the Catalan club last summer, but Leverkusen decided to keep him even though he had only one year left on his contract. According to 'Sport', conversations never stopped, and the Catalan club has maintained contact with both the player and his environment. Barça's coach, Hansi Flick, who is also a compatriot of the defender, supports his arrival, considering him ideal to strengthen the defense due to his solidity, speed, and tactical ability to apply high pressure and control the offside line.

Space will need to be made in the defense

The signing, however, is conditioned on the departure of one of the current center-backs. Araujo, Íñigo Martínez, and Cubarsí are key players for Flick, while Christensen's future is uncertain. Even a hypothetical sale of Araujo is not ruled out if an offer matching his release clause arrives.

Despite strong interest from Bayern Munich and several superior economic proposals from the Premier League, Tah prioritizes playing at Camp Nou. His agent, Pini Zahavi, has a close relationship with Joan Laporta, which also facilitates negotiations. The first step has already been taken with his confirmed departure from Leverkusen. Now, Barça has a clear path to secure a strategic addition.
