Real Madrid is said to have rejected the chance Sign Bayer Leverkusen-defender Jonathan Tah.
The 29-year-old’s contract with the reigning Bundesliga champion expires this summer and he has already announced his decision to go new to pastures.
“I didn’t want to leave Leverkusen because I don’t feel comfortable there. On the contrary. The love I feel for this club will never disappear,” said Tah in September 2024.
“A football career is short, and so it was always my idea to make everything possible to have the experiences with me. And in summer I only had the feeling that it was time to look at something new – immediately after our extremely successful last season.”
Bayern Munich was previously in the race to sign Tah, but it is Barcelona who were often associated with the 35-cap Germany international. However, although it is able to negotiate a preliminary contract agreement, a deal must still be completed.
The athlete Report that Real Madrid would like to sign a central defender this summer-messages that are no surprise given the extensive links to Arsenal William Saliba. But Tah is a new development that the 15-fold Champions League winners were previously offered and rejected.

Every arrival could be accompanied by Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, with a proposed free transmission to the Santiago Bernabeu increasingly.
Although Madrid’s interest never came about, Barcelona’s striving for Tah has taken a sharp immersion in the past few weeks. The Catalans informed the representative of the defender Pini Zahavi that they cannot currently afford to offer their customer a contract with the financial restrictions of La League. SPORT.
After refuting the VIP seating contract in Barcelona, the club no longer falls into the strict budget restrictions of the division and must therefore either secure more funds or unload members of their existing squad before they can think about bringing in new recruits.

Madrid’s disinterest in Tah is anything but universal. Both Liverpool and Tottenham have been associated with the future free agent, the future of which is very undecided.
