The agent of Inter Milan, Juventus, and Bayern Munich target Jonathan Tah confirms that he will “join a big club” next summer.
Tah’s agent Pini Zahavi spoke to German outlet Am Sonntag, via FCInterNews. He also hinted that a move to Bayern is very much a possibility for the 28-year-old.
Tah has now been a Leverkusen player for the better part of a decade.
The German joined Leverkusen from Hamburg in the summer of 2015.
Over the course of his time at the BayerArena, the German has become a real defensive leader for the club. He currently wears the captain’s armband for Leverkusen.
Last season undoubtedly marked a high point in Tah’s growth, and that of Leverkusen. They broke Bayern Munich’s run of dominance by winning their first ever Bundesliga title.
But Tah is now ready to move on.
The German international will be 29 at the end of this season. He is, on paper, coming right into his prime, and he wants to make the definitive step up in his career.
Agent Confirms Inter Target Jonathan Tah Will “Join A Big Club” Next Summer
Tah will have no shortage of options next summer.
The 28-year-old’s contract with Leverkusen runs out at the end of next June. And he has made clear to his club that he has no intention of signing an extension.
Therefore, Tah will be available on a free transfer.
This has created no small amount of friction between the German defender and the Leverkusen board.
But for Tah, it is an opportunity to choose his next step.
Inter and Juventus both reportedly want to sign the German on a free transfer.
However, there is also the temptation to stay within his home country for Tah.
The player’s agent Zahavi made clear that “Next summer Tah will join a big club.”
“And Bayern Munich still have a great chance of signing him,” he went on.
Tah’s agent hit out that “Leverkusen made a mistake not selling him in the summer, when they still could have brought in a fee.”
