Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United are looking to sign Bayer Leverkusen defensive mainstay Jonathan Tah on a free transfer.
The next summer transfer could prove to be very important for Manchester United as they will look to bring in a player who can help Ruben Amorim better implement his style of play. While they did make a few moves in the winter, there is a lot that needs to be taken care of ahead of next season.
The Red Devils’ movement in the transfer market was quite limited as they didn’t have enough funds to play with. They will most likely have a few financial constraints during the summer as well and they could turn to the free-agent market to reinforce their squad. According to a report from Fichajes, United could push for the services of Jonathan Tah to bolster their backline.
Tah has been a part of the Bayer Leverkusen first team since the summer of 2015. He has only gone from strength to strength over the years and has been one of their mainstays of late. He played a key role in their record-breaking season last time out and has been quite impressive this time around as well.
Manchester United are pushing for Tah’s signature
While he remains a key figure under Xabi Alonso, the 28-year-old will be leaving the German club at the end of the season when his contract runs out. There is no shortage of interest in the defensive sensation. Manchester United are one of the clubs that have taken note of his performances.
The Red Devils will most likely part ways with both Victor Lindelöf and Jonny Evans at the end of the season with their contracts running out. They need to bring in a top-quality replacement and have identified Tah as a budget-friendly option.
He has all the qualities needed to succeed in the English top flight and United are seriously considering making a move for him. They will have some financial restrictions next summer as well, as a result, bringing in someone like Tah on a free transfer could do wonders for them. His arrival will not only bolster their backline but also ensure they do not compromise the financial side of things.
