Chelsea are reportedly leading the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s center-back Jonathan Tah, entering active negotiations for a potential deal.
- With Tah’s contract expiring at the end of the season, he can discuss terms with clubs outside Germany starting in January.
- The 28-year-old is a priority target for Chelsea as they look to strengthen their defense amidst competition from Manchester United, Newcastle, Tottenham, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Real Madrid.
- Tah’s departure would be a significant loss for Leverkusen, who are struggling to convince him to extend his stay.
- While Tah is content at Leverkusen, he is open to new career opportunities, which could help Chelsea address their defensive issues.
- His experience could prove invaluable, especially considering Chelsea’s past success with older signings like Thiago Silva.
