Tottenham Hotspur are said to be considering a move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah as they seek defensive reinforcements this summer – with a release clause of €18 million, the German center-back presents an attractive option, however, time is of the essence, as the clause must be activated by the beginning of July, according to BILD.
Jonathan Tah, who has spent eight years at Bayer Leverkusen, is eager to take on a fresh challenge. A transfer to the Premier League is on the radar for a 25-year-old defender who is eager to leave his current German club.
Tah has reportedly been seeking counsel from none other than super-agent Pini Zahavi, who is widely recognised for his proficiency in orchestrating transfers to English clubs.
Tottenham’s potential signing of Tah appears to be a straightforward process, as the player’s contract reportedly includes an €18 million release clause. It is of utmost importance that the clause is activated by the commencement of July. If Spurs fail to do so, negotiations could be opened up and the price may potentially increase, resulting in a less favourable deal.
As the upcoming season approaches, Spurs are looking to strengthen their defensive options, with their interest in Tah being a clear indication of their intentions.
The team faced defensive challenges in the recently ended season and are now focused on addressing this area of weakness. The signing of Tah or any other potential targets is currently on hold until the appointment of a new director of football and manager by Daniel Levy. The club’s transfer strategy moving forward will be significantly influenced by these crucial appointments.
