OFFICIAL: Bayern Munich announce Jonathan Tah's arrival

One of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer is soon over. Jonathan Tah has become a new Bayern Munich player, with whom he has signed a four-season contract until June 2029.

The new No. 4 of the Bavarian team arrives completely free after finishing his contract with Bayer Leverkusen. This had led to several top clubs, such as Barcelona, being interested in the centre-back, but he has finally preferred to stay in the Bundesliga, where he will take Eric Dier's place.

“We are delighted to welcome Jonathan Tah to Bayern. As an experienced, top-level international player, he brings consistency and quality that will strengthen our defense. He is a key asset for us and has proven he can win titles,” said Jan-Christian Dreesen, CEO of the German club.

He was also welcomed by Bayern sporting director Max Eberl: “It's no secret that Tah has been in our sights for a long time. We value his class, he's a player who takes responsibility. Jonathan received many offers, but he chose Bayern. We are very happy with that.

“I'm very happy to be at Bayern. I want to take responsibility here and work hard every day so that we can be successful as a team and win many titles together,” said Tah himself on the news of his signing.
