Liverpool Interferes in the Signing of Jonathan Tah and Complicates Barça

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.

Hansi Flick considers him a key reinforcement for the defense, especially given the uncertainty surrounding Andreas Christensen and Eric García, whose contracts expire in 2026 and whose continuity at the club is far from guaranteed. The management plans to cash in on the Dane during the summer window to free up salary space, while the academy player has a reputation in LaLiga and will certainly receive tempting offers, which is why the German is at the top of the Catalans' list of future prospects.

However, being a top-level player, several of the best clubs in the continent are closely following him as his signing would represent a quality leap for any squad without the need to spend a euro on his transfer. Therefore, despite the fact that the azulgrana entity seemed to have won the race and had his signing on track, some teams continue to insist on his arrival and Liverpool would be the latest major threat to the Catalans.

Liverpool Considers Him the Heir to Van Dijk

Indeed, from the offices at Anfield Road, they are starting to prepare for the 'post-Virgil van Dijk' future, and the 29-year-old German is one of the preferred options for the sports management. Nico Schlotterbeck was seen as the main candidate to take over from the Dutchman in the center of defense, but the difficulties the 'Reds' will face in convincing Borussia Dortmund to transfer him have led them to look towards the BayArena to try to acquire one of the captains of the Aspirins.

Although the Merseyside team is close to extending Van Dijk's contract, the possibility of acquiring Tah at no cost at the end of the season is more than tempting for the club, which is why they are preparing an offensive to snatch him from Barça in the coming weeks, as reported by journalist Christian Falk.

So far, there have been no concrete movements regarding a Tah who has yet to make a definitive decision regarding his future. Meanwhile, at Spotify Camp Nou, they have prioritized signing a left winger, but in light of Liverpool's growing interest in the center-back, they may accelerate discussions to avoid losing one of their major targets to the Premier League, meaning the operation could 'heat up' soon.
