Manchester United have reportedly entered the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender, Jonathan Tah, who is soon to be a free agent in the summer transfer window.
After his current contract expires, Tah, who Transfermarkt values at €30 million (£25.5), will be free to sign with any team during the summer window.
However, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich are all vying for the 29-year-old center-back’s services, and according to The Metro, the Red Devils are now in the running to sign him.
Under head coach Xabi Alonso, the Germany international helped Bayer Leverkusen in winning the DFB-Pokal trophy and the Bundesliga last season.

Tah has made the Europa League Team of the Season three times and was included in the Bundesliga Team of the Season last campaign.
Tah was hailed by Alonso last week as “perhaps the most consistent player” in the team during their incredible 2023–24 season.
“There is clarity – we can talk about his future,’ Alonso said.
“Since the start of the season, he was very clear in discussions.
“His attitude, his quality, his professionalism – he was perhaps the most consistent player in our squad this season. He played excellently. And he deserves to decide about his future.”
United are “actively considering a move” for Tah at the end of the current campaign.
Tah has spent the last ten years with Leverkusen, where he has played in 399 games so far, but he is said to be looking for a fresh challenge.
