Is he going to Real?
Xabi Alonso to snatch Jonathan Tah from Barcelona’s grasp!
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona’s move for Jonathan Tah, Bayer Leverkusen’s defender, is in serious jeopardy.
Although Barcelona has decided to sign this center-back, whose contract expires on June 30 and will be available for free, many competitors have entered the scene to attract this German national team player.
Despite Tah’s verbal agreement with Barcelona, issues related to financial fair play regulations have prevented the finalization of his contract. This situation has led several teams to try to disrupt this transfer to Barcelona.
One of these competitors is Xabi Alonso, Tah’s current coach at Leverkusen, who intends to take him to Real Madrid, a team he will take charge of from June 30. Real, due to the long-term injuries of David Alaba and Eder Militao this season, urgently needs to strengthen its defense, and Alonso wants to bring Tah to his new team.
Real Madrid is not the only competitor. According to Mundo Deportivo from sources close to Tah, Manchester United has also joined the list of contenders. Additionally, Bayern Munich, which failed to sign this German defender last summer, has once again expressed interest in acquiring his services.
Sources close to the player confirm that Tah has not yet signed a contract with any club. However, due to uncertainty about Barcelona’s ability to finalize this transfer due to financial problems, he is gradually losing patience.
