Bayern Seals Early Tah Deal Ahead of Club World Cup, Scoops Him for As Low as 800K!
Report: FC Bayern's Actual Transfer Spending is Lower Than Predicted
Got your attention? That's right, fam! Bayern Munich's about to welcome Jonathan Tah to their squad, and it's going down sooner than you think! According to the latest rustle on the grapevine, Bayern's struck a deal with Bayer Leverkusen that'll have Tah donning the red and white stripes at the upcoming Club World Cup.
The German record champions are reportedly coughing up only 800,000 euros—far lower than the initial expectation of 2 to 4 million! But here's the kicker: the transfer fee could climb to over a million, depending on Bayern's performance in the Club World Cup. Now that's what I call a sweet deal!
In the past, Tah would have only been eligible to play for Bayern from July 1, leaving him sidelined for a potential quarterfinal match at the Club World Cup. But with this new agreement, Tah could be stepping onto the pitch as early as Tuesday, getting ready to square off against Auckland City on Sunday!
Best part is, FIFA's created a special transfer window for this 32-team tournament. Teams can sign new players or extend existing contracts until June 10, making it all possible!
Speaking of timing, Tah's currently with the German national team, preparing to face France in the Nations League third-place playoff on Sunday (3:00 PM/RTL and DAZN, available in the ntv.de live ticker).
Now, the real question is whether Tom Bischof will join Tah at Bayern for the Club World Cup. Bischof, a midfielder currently with TSG Hoffenheim, is set to join Munich in the summer, but there's still no agreement on an early release between the clubs.
