Inter Milan have joined the 'bid' for Jonathan Tah. However, the player's sympathy for AC Milan would make it impossible for him to sign for the 'Nerazzurri'

Jonathan Tah is set to be one of the names of the 2025 transfer window. The German centre-back's contract with Bayer Leverkusen ends in June next year and, at the moment, the forecast is that the player will not sign his renewal and will try his luck as a free agent. A scenario that has sparked the interest of the continent's big clubs, including FC Barcelona, where they see him as an unbeatable market opportunity.

The future of players such as Ronald Araújo, Andreas Christensen and Iñigo Martínez in Barcelona is still not assured, so the offices of Spotify Camp Nou are working to 'cover their backs' and the 27-year-old German is one of the preferred options of the sports management and Hansi Flick, who already had him under his command in the German national team.

However, his operation will not be easy, since being a highly proven player in his position, several of the best European teams are after him. Bayern Munich are still interested in the player after having been close to signing him last summer, and now Inter Milan would be the latest to join the race for the player.

A complicated 'dream' for Inter

This is reported by the 'Calciomercato' portal, where they assure that the 'nerazzurri' entity wants to reinforce its rearguard with a young centre-back to replace the veterans Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij, so they have been closely following Tah's situation for some time. The possible arrival of Jonathan at zero cost makes him an extremely attractive target for the Milanistas, who would be willing to make an effort to sign him.

Despite this, one important factor could 'discard' this option for the centre-back. And that is that the player has admitted to being very emotionally attached to AC Milan, assuring that "I have a special bond with Italy, my wife is Italian and her entire family is a fan of AC Milan." In this way, and despite being a strong rival for Barça in a possible 'bidding', everything indicates that he would not be a real alternative for the player, thus 'paving the way' for the Catalans.
