Jonathan Tah’s agent, Pini Zahavi, has confirmed that the defender is poised for a move to a major club in the upcoming summer transfer window. This announcement has sparked interest from several top teams, including Inter and Juventus, who have been linked with the player in recent weeks.
Zahavi, speaking to Welt Am Sonntag, made a clear statement about Tah’s future: “The situation is very simple. He will join a big club next summer. And Bayern Munich still has an excellent chance of signing him.”
The mention of Bayern Munich is not surprising, as Zahavi revealed a previously undisclosed attempt by the Bavarian giants to secure Tah’s services last summer. “The idea was for him to go to Bayern; they really wanted to sign him. We would have liked to bring transfer proceeds to Leverkusen. Now they won’t receive any money,” Zahavi explained.
This revelation sheds light on Bayern’s ongoing interest in the German national team center-back and suggests that they remain strong contenders for his signature, despite interest from other clubs.
Tah, whose contract with Bayer Leverkusen is set to expire at the end of the season, represents a valuable free transfer opportunity for top clubs. However, Zahavi’s comments seem to cool the prospects of a move to Italy, with Bayern Munich appearing to be in a favorable position.
