Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing 28-year-old Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah, a target for Barcelona.
Jonathan Tah will be a free agent in the summer, and Barcelona are keen on securing his signature as well. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Manchester United will compete with the Catalan outfit in the race for the German international defender.
The 28-year-old has proven himself in the Bundesliga, and he would be an exceptional acquisition for the Premier League club as well. Harry Maguire has been linked with a move away from Manchester United, and they need to replace the English international adequately.
The Bayer Leverkusen defender would be the ideal acquisition for Manchester United, and he could easily replace Maguire next season. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United decide to make a move for the defender in January. Tah has a contract with the Bundesliga club until the summer of 2025, and he could be available for a nominal price in the coming weeks.
Bayer Leverkusen will not want to lose a player of his quality as a free agent, and it would make sense for them to sell the player in January for a reasonable amount of money.
Barcelona keen on Tah
Barcelona need defensive depth as well and have their sights set on Jonathan Tah. The Blaugrana have looked vulnerable at times, and they need to tighten up at the back if they want to win major trophies. Signing the 28-year-old for free at the end of the season could be a masterstroke for them.
The Catalan giants are going through financial difficulties right now, and they will not be able to spend a substantial amount of money on new signings. They need to make the most of these opportunities and sign top players like a bargain.
Both clubs would be exciting destinations for the German international defender, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. He will be hoping to play for a club capable of pushing for trophies on a regular basis. Whoever ends up signing him will have a quality player on their hands for a very reasonable amount of money.
