In a recent development, Premier League side Liverpool have unexpectedly joined the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah.
According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, this has created an interesting dynamic, as Barcelona are already showing strong interest in the player.
In fact, Barça submitted an offer for Tah in the final days of the previous transfer window, and the club’s sporting management is still closely monitoring the situation.
Tah has made it clear to Bayer Leverkusen that he does not intend to renew his contract with the German club. Although Real Madrid are also keeping an eye on the situation, the German international appears to be leaning towards a move to Barcelona.
One of the key factors in this decision is Hansi Flick, who has a strong relationship with Tah from their time together with the German national team. Flick has been a vocal supporter of Tah’s abilities and would be eager to bring him at Barcelona.

However, Barcelona are not the only club vying for his signature, and as time goes on, the competition is heating up. Liverpool have now entered the scene with serious intent to sign the centre-back.
According to reports, securing Tah’s services has become one of Liverpool’s top priorities, and the club is reportedly willing to make a strong offer to lure him to Anfield.
One factor working in Liverpool’s favour is the presence of Xabi Alonso, Tah’s current coach at Bayer Leverkusen. Alonso is a well-known figure at Liverpool, where he spent several successful years as a player.
His connection to the club and the city could potentially help convince Tah to make the move to England.
With Barcelona and Liverpool now battling for Tah’s signature, it remains to be seen where the defender will end up. The coming months are likely to see further…
