Barça is not wasting time, to the point that it seems to have a transfer "well underway". We are not the ones saying it: Journalist from El Chiringuito, José Álvarez, has revealed the imminent arrival of Jonathan Tah. The center-back's contract ends on June 30 and he would arrive completely free, being an express request from the coach, Hansi Flick.
Jonathan Tah is a center-back who has attracted the interest of more teams than just Barça. One is Bayern and the other is Real Madrid, which have been left without the defender they wanted to reinforce their squads. José Álvarez's information is clear: Tah's deal is very advanced, but it cannot be made official until 2025. He is a footballer who will arrive free of contract, pocketing a transfer bonus.
Jonathan Tah: Salary and Conditions for Signing for Barça
Barça's interest in Jonathan Tah is not new. Barça tried to sign him last transfer window, although the conditions were not met. However, next summer, Tah is free and could arrive at Camp Nou for 0, although there's a catch.
Barça has worked hard to structure an offer in line with financial limitations. Jonathan Tah has been tempted by several big European clubs, but Barça's project and the possibility of competing in La Liga seem to have seduced the German center-back. However, to sign for FC Barcelona, the center-back is asking for 10 million euros gross per season, a demand that is within the parameters that the club handles.
As for the length of the contract, it seems that Jonathan Tah is looking for a minimum of three years. He knows that Barça is an opportunity to advance in his professional career and he does not want to waste it, but he has conditions. For the Catalonian club, the arrival of the German would be a key strategic move, especially considering that he would arrive for a reasonable amount.
A Blow to Barça with the Arrival of Jonathan Tah
With the arrival of Jonathan Tah, as José Álvarez has revealed, there's one Barça player who is seriously affected. We are talking about Christensen, who has not yet been able to make his debut with Hansi Flick due to an injury.
His contract expires in 2026 and Barça's idea is to sell him as soon as possible, trying to get a sum of money for a center-back who arrived for free. Christensen would therefore leave, leaving his place to Jonathan Tah.
