Barcelona have played two matches in the new La Liga season, securing victories against both Valencia and Athletic Bilbao, but they have yet to register Dani Olmo, their biggest summer acquisition. The Catalans are working tirelessly to create the conditions for registering the Spanish international, and in recent days, they have either sold (Mikayil Faye) or sent several players on loan (Clément Lenglet, Vitor Roque). However, in the final days of the transfer window, they might bring in another reinforcement.According to Florian Plettenberg from Germany’s Sky Sports, Barcelona are trying to find a way to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s defender Jonathan Tah before the summer transfer window closes. Initial contacts with the Pharmacists have already been made.🚨🇩🇪 Barcelona are exploring a deal to sign Jonathan Tah (28) from Leverkusen, reports @Plettigoal. 🔴🔵 pic.twitter.com/p8FtOoQD0a— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) August 26, 2024 The German international does not want to extend his contract at the BayArena, which expires next summer. During the current transfer window, everything pointed towards a move to Bayern Munich, but the situation has become quite complicated, especially since Matthijs de Ligt’s transfer from Allianz Arena to Manchester United has been significantly delayed.Plettenberg mentions that the transfer to Bayern isn’t completely off the table, while Catalan newspaper Sport claims that Tah is an option for Barca if Eric García leaves in the coming days. Since his move from Manchester City to Barcelona, García simply hasn’t delivered the performances expected by European giants.##NAJAVA_MECA_8290594##The price for Jonathan Tah should not exceed €20,000,000, but the big question is how Barca will manage this, given that they are still struggling with the Olmo situation, which is their absolute priority.After sending Lenglet to Atlético Madrid and selling Faye to Rennes, Barcelona’s central defense options are now limited to Pau Cubarsi and Iñigo Martínez (the duo who started both league matches), the injured Ronald Araújo and Andreas Christensen, and the aforementioned García.
