FC Barcelona is going all out for the centre-back that Hansi Flick wants

FC Barcelona are not only thinking about reinforcing the left wing of Hansi Flick's team. With Eric García's future pointing back to Montilivi, and after having suffered the loss of Andreas Christensen, who will be out for a minimum of two months due to plantar fasciitis, the Blaugrana entity has made the decision to do everything possible to secure the arrival of a defender to shore up the centre of the defence.

The offices of the Spotify Camp Nou are 'on fire' in the final stretch of the transfer market and Jonathan Tah would be the chosen one by the culés to complete the Catalan rearguard. The 28-year-old centre-back is an old acquaintance of Hansi Flick, and the German really likes his profile to strengthen a defence that has been 'reduced' by injuries and by the departures that have occurred throughout the summer.

For this reason, the newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' has assured that Can Barça has already offered 20 million euros to Bayer Leverkusen to sign the defender. The operation of the footballer seemed to have 'deflated' last Tuesday, when Xabi Alonso assured that "we are calm and I do not expect so many changes" when questioned about the possible departure of the defender. However, the Blaugranas do not 'give up' and insist on the signing of the player.

Despite this, the Catalan institution will handle the negotiations with caution, since, taking into account that his contract with the aspirins expires in June 2025, they do not intend to make a large outlay to close his signing. In addition, they are aware of the player's desire to wear the Barça shirt to put himself under the orders of Flick, whom he already had as national coach in 'Die Mannschaft'.

Tough competition

However, Barça will not have an easy time signing him as they are not the only ones in the bidding for the defender. Bayern Munich are also pushing for the centre-back's signing and have reportedly submitted an offer of 20 million euros plus five in variables for his transfer, although this was rejected by Leverkusen. Although Xabi Alonso's men are aiming to 'scrape' at least 30 million euros for the transfer of Tah, the Catalans are confident that their proposal will end up being accepted so as not to reinforce a direct rival.
