Sky Sports Germany later confirmed that Barcelona have a ‘good chance’ of signing the German international on a free transfer.

According to the German broadcasters, Bayern Munich are also interested in Tah and hope to convince the player to move to the Allianz Arena next year.

The 28-year-old hasn’t yet made a final decision on his next club, but he won’t extend his contract with Bayer Leverkusen, leaving the club for nothing at the end of the season.

Inter and Juventus had been linked with a move for the German centre-back, but Barcelona are moving forward in negotiations, meaning that the Serie A giants may have to look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements.
