Bayern Munich’s proposal and salary for Jonathan Tah has been approved by the club, reports Fabrizio Romano. This now means that everything is in place for the newly crowned Bundesliga champions to complete the signing of the current Bayer Leverkusen man.
As Tah is set to be a free agent at the end of the season, Bayern did not need to negotiate directly with B04, but with the player instead.

With the club officials giving the green light, it is now up to Tah if he wants to join Bayern Munich this summer. Jonathan Tah has been a rock at the back for Bayer Leverkusen and is now expected to leave the Bay Arena for Bayern Munich. His defensive abilities are highly regarded at the club and now he will be joining Bayern Munich on a free transfer.
He was rumored to join Barcelona who were in contact with them
He was rumored to join Barcelona who were in contact with them as they were ready to sign the defender till last week but the signing has collapsed since then as Bayern Munich have raided his transfer and Barcelona are also not keen enough to pursue him.
Barcelona already have Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen and Eric Garcia who can play as the centre-back and Hansi Flick would be sorted and content with the situation and the availability of these players.
Inigo Martinez and Pau Cubarsi have made the cb pairing
Jonathan Tah would have struggled to get through the ranks as Inigo Martinez and Pau Cubarsi have made the cb pairing their own and even the previous club captain, Ronald Araujo has not been able to get back into the team.
Considering this situation, Tah has almost made the decision to move to the German Champions as they do not have a very deep bench for the CB position and also the starting pair of Kim Min Jae and Dayot Upamecano, who have been leaky in the champions league and have conceded goals from mistakes that they have committed.
Jonathan Tah might be able to break into the first team and get crucial first minutes under Vincent Kompany. He has been a crucial part of the Bayer Defence and will be crucial for Bayern if they want to regain their European supremacy.
