In light of the crisis that Barcelona is currently experiencing due to the recent decline in results, it seems that the Catalan club has decided to act swiftly in the transfer market to strengthen its squad.
Press sources have revealed that the club is close to completing its first deal in the upcoming transfer window, based on the request of coach Hansi Flick, who is looking to strengthen key positions in the team.
At this critical juncture, Flick is keen to motivate the players and provide immediate solutions to overcome the tactical crises, which has led him to agree to support the team early in preparation for the next phase.
According to information from the Catalan newspaper “Sport,” Barcelona’s management is almost certain to have secured a deal with Jonathan Tah, the Bayer Leverkusen defender.
The distinguished German defender’s contract with Bayer Leverkusen will expire next summer, and the player has decided not to extend his stay with the German club, opting for a new challenge elsewhere.
Bayern Munich was initially the frontrunner to sign Jonathan Tah on a free transfer in the summer after his contract with Leverkusen expires. However, Hansi Flick, the current coach of Barcelona, played a key role in convincing the player to consider the Barça project.
The newspaper highlighted that reliable sources within the club confirm that the deal is progressing well and could be officially concluded in January.
