According to journalists from the German daily Bild, Liverpool’s target is Bayer Leverkusen’s stopper, Jonathan Tah.
Jonathan Tah is one of the leaders of Bayer Leverkusen’s defensive formation. The German stopper has been playing in the colors of the popular Aptekarzy since 2015. During this time, he managed to record nearly 360 official matches. However, it is possible that his adventure with Bayer will soon come to an end. Two European giants are trying very hard for the player’s favor.
The current contract of the former German representative with the popular Aptekarzy team expires at the end of June 2025 and there are many indications that it will not be extended. Both Bayern Munich and Liverpool want to take advantage of the player’s uncertain situation. For both teams, strengthening the defensive line is to be a priority in the coming months.
Bild argues that Liverpool’s interest in Taha comes from the search for a successor to Virgil van Dijk. Although the Dutchman’s current contract expires in a year and LFC activists want to extend it, the player’s current age forces the club to look for an alternative for the Oranje representative. Christian Falk confirms that one of the main candidates to replace the former Southampton player is a player of the recent German champions.
The defender born in Hamburg is currently valued at nearly EUR 30 million. Unofficially, it is said that apart from LFC, brands such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham are also seeking the player’s favor.
