Rumors about Jonathan Tah's possible departure from Bayer Leverkusen in 2025 are becoming stronger. The 28-year-old central defender still has not renewed with the current Bundesliga champion and, in addition to FC Barcelona, other 'big players' in Europe are very interested in the Hamburg player, being one of the bargains that the next summer market can offer. In England, the latest information points to Tottenham as the Barça team's new rival for the German international.
And the 'spurs' would want the Leverkusen defender to form an elite duo with Cristian Romero, a key player in the Argentine team led by Lionel Scaloni. Ange Postecoglou's men have the Romanian Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies as alternatives, but everything indicates that the Welshman will leave the club in 2025 and Tah would be the one chosen to replace him. In addition to Barça, Juventus has also shown interest in the defender and could even come forward with an offer in January.
Xabi Alonso dismisses rumors about Jonathan Tah's departure
Despite the wave of market rumors related to the centre-back, Xabi Alonso made clear the position of the club and the footballer regarding his future. "I see him (Jonathan) very focused, against Gladbach he played very well; he was very solid and strong in the duels and he once again gave his best version with us. He is a very mature player who is totally focused," explained the Spanish coach before the national team break.
In that sense, the coach fully trusts the defender to keep him in his XI for the next league and Champions League matches. So far this season, Tah has played 859 minutes in 10 games, with 1 goal scored against Wolfburg. Other clubs that have been suggested as possible destinations for the German in 2025 are Liverpool and Inter Milan, although the defender seems determined to wait until the end of the season to decide which will be his next team.
