This German defender soon at FC Barcelona: a strategic transfer which could transform the Catalan defense from the summer of 2025.
While the FC Barcelona working hard to regularize its accounts and register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, the club seems to have found its first recruit of 2025. Jonathan Tahcentral defender of Bayer Leverkusen, is about to join the Catalan squad. An acquisition which could redistribute the cards within the Barcelona defense.
Jonathan Tah: An imminent signing
According to Relief, Bayern Munich, main competitor for the recruitment of Jonathan Tah, would have abandoned the race. At 28, the German defender is now 'about' to sign for Barcelona. With his current contract expiring in June, Barca can complete the deal quickly. This early signing could be made official in the first days of January.
With the arrival of Jonathan Tah, Barça is considering a remodeled defense for next season. The German would form a strong central axis with players such as Inigo Martinez and youngster Pau Cubarsi. Under the leadership of Hansi Flick, this new structure could provide defensive stability which has sometimes been lacking at the club.
Barcelona and its recruitment strategy
At the same time, Tah's versatility, capable of playing in a three-man or four-man defense, represents a strategic asset. His experience in the Bundesliga and on the European stage should also provide welcome leadership.
This transfer reflects a recruitment policy focused on market opportunities. By signing players at the end of their contracts, Barcelona optimizes its financial resources while strengthening its squad. The case of Jonathan Tah illustrates this approach, as the club continues to juggle the constraints imposed by financial fair play.
Next summer promises to be crucial for FC Barcelona. With Jonathan Tah as reinforcement, the club will have to make bold choices to balance its squad.
