The summer clear-out at BayArena is starting to gain momentum, with manager Xabi Alonso set for Real Madrid while the likes Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz are expected to find new clubs soon.
Also set for a Bayer Leverkusen exit is defender Jonathan Tah, who is prioritising a move to Barcelona in the summer despite being approached by Bundesliga rivals, Bayern Munich.
The 29-year-old will leave Bayer Leverkusen as a free agent once his contract expires at the end of the season. Tah was reported to have already agreed a deal with Barcelona, but the club’s ongoing financial issues mean his future remains up in the air.
Newly crowned Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are now pushing to sign the Germany international as they seek to bolster their defence and Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo suggests that Tah is prepared to wait for Barcelona to sort out their finances.
