Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah will leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season. This will end his long time with the Bundesliga champions.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Jonathan Tah has said publicly that he will not extend his contract with Bayer Leverkusen. This confirms months of speculation about his future. Earlier in the season, the German center-back told the club he would not be staying. He made this announcement after Leverkusen’s 1-1 draw over the weekend. Tah said, “There was a point in time when I made the decision not to extend my contract and not to stay here. It remains that way now.”
BAYER LEVERKUSEN’S INCREDIBLE SEASON
Leverkusen secured their first Bundesliga title under coach Xabi Alonso. They sit top of the table and are still unbeaten after 30 matches. Key to this historic season is Tah, who has played in almost every league game. He has helped build one of the best defensive records in Europe. With four games left, Leverkusen are 14 points clear of Bayern Munich, aiming for an unbeaten season.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR TAH AND LEVERKUSEN?
Tah, now 29, will be free to join another club after June 30, 2025. Clubs like Barcelona, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur have been linked to him. Leverkusen will need to replace their defensive leader as they prepare for the next match against VfL Bochum, who are fighting against relegation. Leverkusen remain focused on ending the season strongly and keeping their unbeaten run.
