Barcelona has reportedly made a €20 million offer to Bayer Leverkusen for central defender Jonathan Tah, according to Mundo Deportivo. The move comes as Barcelona looks to strengthen their defense following Andreas Christensen’s injury and the potential departure of Eric Garcia. Jonathan Tah’s contract with Bayer Leverkusen expires in June 2025, and Barcelona hopes to negotiate a lower transfer fee due to the limited time remaining on his contract.

Tah has been a key player for Bayer Leverkusen under coach Xabi Alonso, recently contributing to the team’s Bundesliga success. Despite his market value being around €33.9 million, Barcelona is aiming to leverage the fact that Tah’s contract is nearing its end to secure a more favorable deal.
Tah has been with Bayer Leverkusen since 2015, after joining from Hamburger SV for €7.5 million. His long tenure at the club and his significant contributions on the field could make Bayer Leverkusen open to selling him for a substantial fee, despite the lower offer from Barcelona.
