Man Utd Joins Race for Barcelona and Real Madrid Target
Manchester United Eyes Defender Jonathan Tah Amidst Competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid
Reports from Germany suggest that Manchester United is looking to secure the services of defender Jonathan Tah, who is currently being pursued by Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The Future of Jonathan Tah
The future of Germany international Jonathan Tah is set to be decided in the coming weeks. Tah has expressed his desire to leave Bayer Leverkusen once his contract expires on June 30th, opening the door for a move to a new club. Several top European teams are vying for his signature, making the competition fierce.
Competition for Tah’s Signature
Barcelona has been in pursuit of Tah for a significant part of the season, looking to bolster their defensive options. However, Real Madrid has recently entered the race to secure Tah’s services to address their own defensive issues. Bayern Munich is also showing interest in the defender. Despite the competition from these clubs, Manchester United has emerged as a strong contender for Tah.
Manchester United’s Interest in Tah
According to Florian Plettenburg, Manchester United has expressed keen interest in signing Tah once his contract with Leverkusen expires. Talks have already taken place with Tah’s management, indicating the club’s serious intent to secure the 29-year-old center-back on a free transfer this summer. While Barcelona remains a strong contender, a move is not yet finalized, leaving room for other clubs like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to make a bid for Tah.
Barcelona Still Favored, But Uncertainty Looms
Although Barcelona is currently seen as the favorite to land Tah, there is uncertainty surrounding the potential transfer. The Catalan club may not pursue the defender unless certain circumstances arise, such as the departure of key players like Andreas Christensen or Ronald Araujo. As of now, no definitive agreement has been reached, leaving the door open for Manchester United and other clubs to swoop in.
