Bayern Munich shells out less than anticipated for Tah's transfer deal.
Fresh Take:
Bayern Munich Secures Early Signing of Jonathan Tah for Club World Cup at a Bargain Price
Gear up, Bayern Munich fans! Looks like we've got national player Jonathan Tah in the bag for the Club World Cup, with the German record champions pulling off a brilliant deal with Bayer Leverkusen. According to trusted sources like Fabrizio Romano, "Bild," and Sky, the final transfer fee won't break the bank—it's just a mere €800,000, with additional bonus payments contingent on Bayern's performance [1][3].
In a surprising turn of events, this agreement grants Tah the opportunity to suit up for Bayern Munich earlier than expected, leaving as early as Tuesday and potentially playing against Auckland City as soon as next Sunday [2]. This early signing marks a significant advantage for Bayern, as FIFA has established an exclusive transfer window for the Club World Cup [2].
Initially, the 29-year-old would've been eligible to join Bayern Munich starting July 1st, but thanks to this agreement, he could jumpstart his Bavarian career even earlier. However, it remains uncertain whether Tom Bischof, another upcoming signing from TSG Hoffenheim, will also make an appearance in the Club World Cup's group stage. Negotiations between the clubs concerning an early release for Bischof are still ongoing [2].
As of now, Tah continues with the German national team, preparing for the third-place play-off against France in the Nations League on Sunday at 3 pm. Don't miss the action on RTL, DAZN, or catch the live updates right here on ntv.de [2]!
