Liverpool are reportedly eyeing Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah as they look to strengthen their defense ahead of the upcoming season. According to CaughtOffside, the Reds are keen to bring the 29-year-old German international to Anfield, joining a list of top European clubs interested in his services. With just six months left on his contract, Tah could be available on a free transfer, making him a valuable target for Liverpool.
“Jonathan Tah has been billed as ‘one of the best defenders in the world,'” the report states, reflecting his reputation as a top-tier center-back. His time at Leverkusen has been marked by impressive performances, helping the club secure second place in the Bundesliga this season.
Although Liverpool’s defense has been relatively solid, with Virgil van Dijk’s new contract bolstering their backline, Tah’s experience and consistency would provide valuable depth. Joe Gomez’s injury history and the impending departure of Joel Matip make a potential signing of Tah all the more attractive.
The Reds will face competition for Tah, with clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan already showing interest. However, Liverpool’s focus on securing a player in his prime who can contribute immediately could be a crucial step in reinforcing their squad for future competitions.
