Pre-Closure Medical Exam: Tah undergoes health assessment at Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich Inches Closer to Securing Jonathan Tah's Signature
Munich - Bayern Munich is on the brink of finalizing the transfer of national team defender Jonathan Tah. The 29-year-old arrived in Munich for a mandatory medical examination, with contract signing scheduled for Säbener Straße later today. Tah is expected to commit to a four-year deal ending in June 2029.
The highly-anticipated transfer follows Tah's decision not to renew his contract with Bayer Leverkusen, which expires this summer. With his services set to be free, Bayern Munich is poised to secure a valuable addition to their roster. However, a small transfer fee is expected due to the defender's early departure, given Bayern's plans to utilize Tah in the upcoming Club World Cup in the USA.
Having spent ten years with Bayer Leverkusen, Tah leaves as a seasoned veteran, contributing to the team's successes, including their triumph in the Bundesliga and German Cup during the 2023-24 season. The specific terms of Tah's contract with Bayern Munich, including financial aspects and duration, have yet to be disclosed.
Following the medical examinations and contract signing, Tah is set to join the German national team for its preparation for the Nations League final tournament in Herzogenaurach, starting on Friday. Further details on his involvement in the Club World Cup and Bayern Munich's lineup will likely be revealed as the tournement approaches.
Bayern Munich's acquisition of Jonathan Tah may bolster their sports dynasty in European-leagues, given his impressive performances with Bayer Leverkusen and national team. With Tah's anticipated commitment to a four-year football contract with Bayern, he could potentially aid them in upcoming European-league competitions and tournament runs.
