Jonathan Tah Confirms Departure from Bayer Leverkusen, Barcelona Linked

Jonathan Tah, the 29-year-old German center-back, has officially confirmed he will leave Bayer Leverkusen when his contract expires at the end of the season, marking the end of his ten-year tenure with the club. Tah communicated his decision to the club some time ago and reiterated that there is no possibility of him staying. While his next destination remains undecided, he has attracted interest from Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and several top clubs in England and Italy, though Barcelona's ongoing financial issues could complicate a move to the Spanish side. Last summer, Bayern Munich attempted to sign him, but negotiations failed, and mutual interest has since cooled. Tah will depart as a free agent, having played a pivotal role in Leverkusen's recent successes, including their Bundesliga and German Cup double. He has not set a deadline for making a decision about his future club.
