Tah is said to have given his promise beforehand and can actually join the Munich -free free of charge without a handling of Bayer Leverkusen. However, the record champion wants to rely on the defensive man at the upcoming club World Cup from mid-June, who is then officially under contract in Leverkusen. As the “kicker” reported, the Werkself wants to ask FC Bayern for this.
According to the magazine, the Leverkuseners are concerned with a “small to medium million sum” in order to end the employment relationship that runs until the end of June with Tah four weeks earlier. As a motivation of the Rhinelander, the report mentions FC Bayern’s negotiating trick from last summer, when Tah wanted to sign against a transfer, but after a long time to hold the Leverkusener offered significantly less than before. Bayer 04 also knows about the injury-related bottleneck on the Munich defensive, as well as the financial perspective of the league rival when participating in the club World Cup. Bayern could enter $ 2 million for every win in the group games against Auckland City, Boca Juniors and Benfica Lisbon. 7.5 million would be available for reaching the round of 16 and another 13 million for the quarter -finals. The tournament winner can take up to $ 125 million in total.
Jonathan Tah: About the HSV, Fortuna and Bayer 04 to FC Bayern
On Friday, transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano reported that the Werkelf had confirmed that the Munich team had been informed about the project. In Leverkusen, Bayern was now waiting for an early release and a change of the international within the upcoming special transfer window in early June. The medical check takes place before Tah with the DFB team is preparing for the Nation League semi-final against Portugal (June 4th, 9pm).
For Tah, it will only be the second fixed transfer in its professional career, although the defender was often considered a candidate for a departure from Leverkusen. In 2015 he came from HSV to the Rhine. In the meantime, the Hamburgers had sold Tah to Fortuna Düsseldorf and then immediately sold to Bayer for almost 10 million euros. Tah had already revealed in April that he wanted to leave Leverkusen. A few weeks ago, the native of Hamburg then expressed that foreigners also stimulate him. A long -speculated switch to FC Barcelona became nothing. Now the way to the Bavarian capital seems to be leading.
Goretzka wants to stay at FC Bayern
A colleague Tahs should then be Leon Goretzka (30). In a “Welt am Sonntag” interview published on Friday, the midfielder explained: “I don’t plan to leave the club.” Goretzka is only bound by FC Bayern until 2026. Corresponding considerations for a sale to prevent a transfer -free departure are obvious. Born in Bochum, however, emphasized: “My plan is definitely to play at FC Bayern next season. (…) I love FC Bayern, the people here, my teammates.”
