Deal off! Bayern Munich decide not to sign German star this summer despite an earlier agreement

Bayern Munich are no longer interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen and Germany defender Jonathan Tah this summer despite an earlier agreement.

The Bavarian club were linked with a move for the German national team defender for a long time and he was reported to be eager to make the move, even deciding against committing to a new deal with Leverkusen. However, Kicker claims that Bayern are no longer keen on signing the player and the deal is off.

BILD earlier reported that the reigning Bundesliga champions set a deadline for the transfer and if they did not receive an offer by the weekend, Tah would have to stay at his current club. However, the deal will now no longer take place after a section of the Bayern management opposed the transfer.

The 28-year-old centre-back, who has made more than 350 appearances for Leverkusen since 2015, was an important member of Xabi Alonso’s team that won the historic league title last season.

The former Hamburger player has only a year left in his current contract and has reportedly refused to put pen to paper on a deal. Leverkusen may still aim to sell the player soon as they are would rather not see him leave for free in 2025.
