How the turntables…
Jonathan Tah is set to leave Bayer Leverkusen on a free transfer in the summer transfer window. That the player himself has already confirmed. Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona are both credited with having an interest in the player. But who would Tah choose? It seemed that the Catalans were ahead in the race for the Germany international’s signature, only for their FFP issues to reportedly get in the way. Bayern were then in front. But perhaps Barcelona are not out of the picture yet, via a report from BILD (and captured by @iMiaSanMia):
Barcelona are still interested in Jonathan Tah and have not given up hope on signing him. The Catalans are very confident that registration wouldn’t be a problem in the event of a transfer. Hansi Flick wants Tah.
BFW Analysis
Tah’s agent, Pini Zahavi, is a master of this business. It is his bread and butter to pit two clubs against each other to bid higher and higher so that he and his client get the best offer possible. And part of that game is leaking such reports to the media. This report is likely just another attempt from Zahavi to make Bayern a little more nervous, just as he has been attempting to make Barça more nervous in recent days and months. Until Tah has signed, nothing is done.
