FC Bayern succeeds in a coup with the commitment of international Jonathan Tah. After the cancellation of Florian Wirtz, he is the real royal transfer.
The shock over the Wirtz-Watschn is still deep at FC Bayern. In the shadow of the burst record transfer (for 150 million euros) by Florian Wirtz, who has determined the headlines in the past few weeks and months, those responsible have now been secret, quietly and quietly succeeded in a real coup: On Wednesday afternoon, national player Jonathan Tah successfully completed the medical check in Munich. The captain of Bayer Leverkusen and ex-teammate from Wirtz, subject to negotiations on his participation in the club World Cup, come to the record champions free of charge and sign a four-year contract there.
You can only congratulate Bayern. Why?
Because they need Tah much more urgently than Wirtz, for whom they should have found a place in the offensive midfield next to Jamal Musiala anyway. In contrast, a real head of defense, how Tah has been with Leverkusen in recent years, has been lacking in their squad for a few years.
The 1.95 meter tall defensive specialist brings everything to take on the role at FC Bayern and finally fix this large vulnerability of the team. Dayot Upamecano and Min-Jae Kim are both more introverted and therefore not created for the role of a loud leader. Tah, who in Leverkusen is not without reason, has become captain, on the other hand, has established himself as such in recent years – both at Bayer, where he won the double from the championship and trophy last year, as well as in the German national team, where it is now considered set.
Tah recently convinced in both teams with consistently strong performances. It is extremely strong in duel and header, in contrast to Kim and Upamecano- he has hardly any mistakes in the game, has a strong opening of the player and, in addition to its stronger right, also a very good left foot. In addition, he is extremely dangerous for standards: last season he was four competitive goals, and the year before there were even six. His qualities and his personality will do Bayern well. He is trusted to directly contribute his skills there without much adjustment problems and to strengthen the team immediately.
Tah once again impressively confirmed his consistently strong achievements from the Leverkusen championship year this season. And so that his very last critics at FC Bayern are apparently convincing. Last year, his move to Munich had failed due to different ideas regarding the transfer fee of Bavaria (25 million euros) and Leverkusen (30 million euros). The mighty Munich Supervisory Board ultimately burst the change due to a difference of only five million euros, although Tah was already completely agreed. A mistake.
He is now proving that Tah, who then tended to FC Barcelona for a long time to FC Barcelona and away from FC Bayern. So he still comes with a year of delay.
Bayern only experience the final of the premier class in its own arena on Saturday between Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain as uninvolved spectators. At this failed mission, Tah might have been the piece of the puzzle that they lacked for a more successful course. He can and wants to prove that now. If he succeeds, he could prove to be Bavaria’s true royal transfer after the bursting change.
