One less worry in Munich. Maybe Florian Wirtz ‘dribbled‘ past them and complicated a deal they thought was already done, but he’s not the only Bayer Leverkusen player. Jonathan Tah is a Bayern player until 2029! Not a three-year contract, as was assumed, but four. The Bavarians have solved their center-back position for the long term. At least, that’s how it should be—unless something unexpected happens. But in the short term, they have a problem. And it’s a big, serious one. Bayer Leverkusen is giving them a headache. They’re stalling, tightening, delaying…♦️ Jonathan Tah 🤝 FC Bayern ♦️#FCBayern verpflichtet Jonathan Tah. ✍️🔗 https://t.co/NOXfrBu422#MiaSanMia #ServusJona pic.twitter.com/E71xlYdC8A— FC Bayern München (@FCBayern) May 29, 2025 The German international’s participation in the Club World Cup is in question. Everything is uncertain. Vincent Kompany is likely to be consumed by nerves until the clubs reach an agreement. So far, there’s no handshake. Leverkusen could make life difficult for Bayern. Jonathan Tah has indeed signed for Bayern, but his contract with Bayer Leverkusen doesn’t expire until the last day of June. By the time that ends, the Club World Cup will have already begun. The German clubs have yet to agree on a compensation fee to “unlock” the German defender.Agreed with Barca but will sign for MunichSince Jonathan Tah signed for the Munich club as a free agent, the Bundesliga runners-up (Leverkusen) are not entitled to a cent. They missed the chance to cash in last June—at least to secure a decent transfer fee. However, they might still get some crumbs this time. If Bayern wants him available for the Club World Cup, they’ll have to compensate Leverkusen. As for the German center-back’s contract, as already mentioned, it will last four years, and his gross salary is expected to be 48 million euros. So, 12 million per season. But that’s not his only income—Jonathan Tah is allegedly set to receive around 15 million euros for signing as a free agent. In total: 63 million. The transfer could increase if Bayern agrees to pay Leverkusen some money so that Vincent Kompany has another option in his back line, which he urgently needs.##NAJAVA_MECA_8952713##
