Barcelona have reportedly made a late move to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah.
The 28-year-old enjoyed a fine campaign last season. Playing a major role in Xabi Alonso's double-winning season, the former Hamburger defender made 48 appearances in all, in all competitions.
The German player is not willing to extend his contract. His contract expires next year and this has forced Leverkusen to make him available for a transfer this summer.
Set to leave the BayerArena before Friday night's transfer deadline, Tah has been a long-term target for Bayern Munich. Despite ongoing negotiations, the Bavarians have so far failed to reach an agreement with their rivals.
Barcelona join the race to sign Jonathan Tah
And according to the latest report from Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg, Tah has now emerged as a logical option for La Liga giants Barcelona.
Interestingly, Hansi Flick is familiar with the Bayer Leverkusen defender during his two years in charge of the German national team but after playing him in two international friendlies, it is surprising to hear that he could bring him to the Nou Camp.
However, now that Tah's future is so certain, the player must make a decision where he wants his challenge to be – to continue in Germany with Bayern and try to win Bundesliga titles, or to go abroad and test himself. La Liga.
