Barcelona Lead Race for Inter and Juventus Target Tah

Inter and Juventus are falling behind in the fray to sign Jonathan Tah on a free transfer, while Barcelona are making strides thanks to a recent meeting with his agent. Bayern Munich are squarely in contention as well. They have been after him for years.

According to Jijantes FC and Relevo‘s Matteo Moretto, the defender and his representative Pini Zahavi recently convened with Blaugrana director Deco. Things went well, and the parties appeared on the same page. However, the negotiation hasn’t been 100 percent sealed.

Tah has the same agent as Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who has deep ties with the Bundesliga, which gives the Spanish giants an advantage over Juventus and Inter. The star center-back will be out of contract in June.

The two Serie A heavyweights are keeping tabs on him since he’d be a bargain, but they are focusing on other targets too. The Bianconeri have a hole to plug. Their January addition will likely be young-ish. Per La Gazzetta dello Sport, Benfica’s Antonio Silva and Feyenoord’s David Hancko top their wish list. Though, they need to make a sale before going full throttle. Instead, the Scudetto holders might sign another defender from Argentina. They are keen on Velez’s Valentin Gomez.

Our Take on Tah, Barcelona, Juventus, and Inter

The two Serie A sides don’t seem to have done much more than some due diligence given his caliber. The Nerazzurri might have moved on altogether from veteran Bosman additions following the Oaktree takeover. Instead, the Old Lady needs somebody pronto and aren’t going for a patch, which would likely exclude another significant signing in the summer.
