US EditionBayern Munich Signs Defender Jonathan Tah From Bundesliga Rival Leverkusen
- On Thursday, Bayern Munich secured the signing of German defender Jonathan Tah from fellow Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen, agreeing to a deal that runs through June 2029 and involves no transfer fee.
- Bayern pursued Tah for over a year after he declined to extend his Leverkusen contract beyond the 2024-25 season and failed to reach a deal last summer.
- Tah spent a decade at Leverkusen, becoming their longest-serving outfield player and a key figure in their unbeaten 2023-24 Bundesliga and German Cup winning team.
- Bayern strengthened its defense amid injuries to Upamecano and Min-jae, and the departure of backup Eric Dier, with sporting director Christoph Freund calling Tah a 'good and important addition.'
- Tah's signing suggests Bayern aims to stabilize its defense quickly while Leverkusen, under new coach Erik ten Hag, faces a significant rebuilding challenge.
