Bayer Leverkusen’s centre-back Jonathan Tah has become the subject of intense interest from Europe’s top clubs following an outstanding season.

According to Christian Falk via the Daily Briefing, both Bayern Munich and Chelsea are eyeing a potential move for the 28-year-old defender.

Tah’s current contract with Leverkusen expires next summer, prompting Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich to push for a swift decision regarding his future.

Leverkusen are eager to secure Tah’s commitment to a contract extension or explore a potential sale to avoid losing him on a free transfer next summer.

“The Premier League has always been something that interests me. But it doesn’t rule out that I also find the Bundesliga beautiful and am proud that I have played here for ten years. I really appreciate the Bundesliga, but I also find the Premier League interesting.”
