Spanish press reports have shed light on the official offer made by Barcelona to sign one of the prominent stars of Bayer Leverkusen during the summer transfer period.
According to the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona is committed to implementing its plan based on signing a new central defender during the last moments of the next summer Mercato.
The Spanish newspaper said that this came after Andreas Christensen was injured and confirmed to be absent for two months, in addition to Ronald Araujo’s injury and the possibility of Eric Garcia’s departure in the coming hours.
The Spanish newspaper confirmed that Barcelona submitted an official offer amounting to 20 million euros to sign Jonathan Tah, the 28-year-old Bayer Leverkusen star.
The Spanish newspaper indicated that Barcelona does not intend to offer more money in the Tah deal because his contract with Bayer Leverkusen expires in June 2025.
The Spanish newspaper explained that Barcelona realizes that the player himself is very enthusiastic about the idea of playing with Barça and working under the leadership of Hans Flick, with whom he trained in the German national team.
The Spanish newspaper added that Jonathan Tah also attracted interest from Bayern Munich, which submitted an offer of 20 million euros in addition to 5 million in variables, but it was rejected by Bayer Leverkusen.
The Spanish newspaper added that Barcelona expects Bayer Leverkusen to accept its offer because the German club will not want to strengthen the ranks of a direct competitor such as Bayern Munich.
