Pre-contract agreement with Jonathan Tah

Bayern wanted to sign Jonathan Tah in the summer. They identified the German international in the summer to add quality and experience to the defense. Tah had agreed personal terms with Bayern, but they never found an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen.

The defending Bundesliga champions had set a deadline for Bayern to sign Tah. Die Roten allowed the deadline to pass and made a move late in the summer. Leverkusen had no intention of parting ways with Tah in the final days of the transfer window. The German international ended up staying in Leverkusen with less than 12 months left on his contract.

Tah will attract interest from various clubs in the coming months since he will be available for free transfer next summer. If Bayern intends to sign Tah, they will have to be decisive and reach a pre-contract agreement with the defender. Die Roten have previously signed big Bundesliga stars like Leon Goretzka and Robert Lewandowski on pre-contract agreements six months before the end of their contracts.

Eberl and Freund will have to conclude talks with Tah and his representatives before January to seal the deal and beat competition from big European clubs. Inter Milan reportedly hold an interest in the German international, while Barcelona also explored a move for him in the summer.
