Barcelona pondering move for Jonathan Tah

FC Barcelona is debating whether to make a move for Jonathan Tah, who currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen.

The move would happen in this transfer window should Eric Garcia leave, giving Hansi Flick another veteran defender to help fortify the squad.

Garcia is being linked with a permanent transfer to Girona FC, where he achieved great success last season on loan. He would almost certainly have less playing time under Flick.

The 28-year-old Tah has one year left on his contract, and that may lead to him leaving for a relatively cheap price – 20 million euro has been suggested.

The biggest obstacle for the deal would be Barcelona’s wage bill. That’s what has kept Dani Olmo from being registered and playing, and why a deal for Federico Chiesa of Juventus FC has been reportedly called off.
