With less than two days remaining in the summer transfer window, Real Madrid currently has no plans to bring in new players, while their main rivals are aiming to make a signing. The 2024 transfer period has been disappointing for Barcelona. After initial excitement about Nico Williams, who chose to stay at the new San Mamés, Barcelona managed to secure Dani Olmo.
According to the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, Barcelona is targeting Jonathan Tah, a 28-year-old German centre-back. Although he has lost his starting spot under coach Xabi Alonso, he remains a top player for the club. The paper notes that if Alonso blocks his departure, Barcelona could miss a key opportunity to strengthen their defense, especially since Coparci has not met expectations.
The renewed interest from Joan Laporta’s club has caught attention, as Tah would be a significant boost to Barcelona’s defense. The newspaper concluded that, as is often the case with Barcelona’s transfer pursuits, the primary hurdle is the club’s strained financial situation.
