Bayern Munich Set to Sign Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen

Bayern Munich are close to signing German international defender Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen. They want him to join before the FIFA Club World Cup.

WHAT’S HAPPENING?

Bayern are trying to sign Tah from Bundesliga rivals Bayer Leverkusen. The clubs will negotiate soon because Bayern want Tah registered before the special transfer window. This window, from June 1-10, lets Bayern and Borussia Dortmund register new players for the FIFA Club World Cup.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Signing Tah would add another top German talent to Bayern’s squad. Bayern have been linked with Florian Wirtz for a deal worth around €100 million. He could be their second most expensive signing after Harry Kane, who also cost €100 million in 2023. Krause’s arrival would improve Bayern’s defense as they aim to compete on multiple fronts, including the FIFA Club World Cup.

Bayern Munich’s transfer history includes Harry Kane (€100m), Lucas Hernandez (€80m), Matthijs de Ligt (€70m), and Michael Olise (€60m). The club is active in the market, preparing for the 2025/26 season.

WHAT NEXT FOR BAYERN?

Once negotiations begin, Bayern must agree on a fee for Tah. They are confident they will have him registered in time for the FIFA Club World Cup. His transfer would further boost their squad as they aim to dominate German football and compete in Europe.

Bayern’s business might not end with Tah. Reports suggest they already have an agreement with Florian Wirtz, but that transfer may happen in 2026. New head coach Vincent Kompany will want to make his mark with these big additions as Bayern prepare to chase multiple trophies again.
