Jonathan Tah breaks his silence: Will he join FC Barcelona?

The name of Jonathan Tah is one of the most talked about in the halls of Spotify Camp Nou. The center-back has reportedly decided not to renew with Bayer Leverkusen and is set to leave as a free agent next summer, a situation that FC Barcelona wants to take advantage of to bring him into their ranks at no cost, considering him an unbeatable market opportunity.

In fact, in recent days, the agreement of the German with the Blaugranas was taken for granted, but the player himself has come forward and clarified this information in an interview given to the program 'Transfer Update' on 'Sky Sports Deutschland', where he stated that, as of today, he has not made a definitive decision.

"So far, nothing has been decided. I am completely focused on being successful with Leverkusen. I will make my decision soon, and when I have done so, I will communicate it," Tah declared, leaving his next career step more uncertain than ever.

The uncertainty in Barça's defense center

The words of the German defender come at a time of more doubts than certainties in the Barça defense. While Pau Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez have consolidated Flick's preferred duo, the continuity of Ronald Araujo in the team is in question. His renewal remains stalled, and Juventus wants to sign him at all costs, so his stay in the Catalan City is not guaranteed.

For this reason, the interest of the Catalans in Tah could intensify in the coming weeks, and despite the player having deflected the attention, those in the offices of Spotify Camp Nou will seek to finalize his signing as soon as possible. Clubs like Bayern and Inter Milan remain in the bidding, but the Blaugranas would lead the race, and the operation could advance in the coming days.
