I’ve spoken with several clubs but won’t say anything for now
Most in-demand defender in the world: It’s a shame I’m leaving Leverkusen
Jonathan Tah, the Bayer Leverkusen defender wanted by Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, has spoken about his future in an interview.
Jonathan Tah, who recently said goodbye to Bayer Leverkusen, is considered one of the most sought-after defenders in world football. So far we know that Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are all trying to sign the German defender.
The 29-year-old German defender today spoke to German newspaper Rheinische Post about his future and his farewell to Leverkusen. He said: “I’m not someone who speaks easily but here I want to thank everyone, especially the Leverkusen fans for their support. I’m really grateful for everything. From the bottom of my heart. When I talk at home with my wife about leaving Leverkusen, tears come to my eyes.”
Jonathan Tah, who refused to extend his contract with Leverkusen, was legally allowed to officially negotiate with other clubs from January 1. When asked which clubs he has negotiated with so far, he said: “There have been talks with some teams but I prefer to remain silent about it for now. My agent is handling things and I trust him.”
