Bayern Munich has been a club that has always used the national market to perpetuate their dominance in the Bundesliga and try to extend it to Europe. There are few talents that explode in Germany and resist the Bavarian giant and, on this occasion, The ‘damaged’ party aims to be Bayer Leverkusen, the new champion of the German league. And the Munich club is very close to dealing an important blow to the team led by Xabi Alonso with the signing of Jonathan Tah. A movement that the German press already considers practically closed. The Hamburg defender is thus about to leave the Aspirin club after nine seasons.
The person who reported this news was Florian Plettenberg, journalist from sky sports. This information states that Bayern would have reached a full agreement with Tah, a 28-year-old central defender who is active at Leverkusen. He does not talk about amounts, but he does reveal that the German international will sign a five-year contract: until June 30, 2029. In this way, the team led by Vincent Kompany will acquire the services of one of the defenders of the year in the Bundesliga. A defender whose dominant leg is his right and who has played a fundamental role in Xabi Alonso’s Bayer champion, both in the purely defensive aspect and in the creation of the game.
Tah has been on Bayern’s agenda for weeks and has always been their priority objective, but The Bavarian entity had other tricks up its sleeve in case he finally could not undertake his hiring. The main ‘plan B’ that he was considering, as Plettenberg also points out, is Levi Colwill. The 21-year-old English central defender He showed all his potential last season on loan to Brighton and, this year, He has earned his doctorate with Chelsea playing more than 2,000 minutes. Only injuries have prevented him from being more regular and, perhaps, from being called up for the Euro Cup by Gareth Southgate.
However, although Jonathan Tah seems closed, It has not yet been ruled out that Colwill could join Bayern. Always according to Plettenberg, The arrival of the Leverkusen defender would not be an impediment for the Chelsea center back to also arrive. The London club, however, has other plans: according to Fabrizio Romano, they have no intention of releasing him.
