Bayern Munich has been pursuing Jonathan Tah for what seems like ages now, and this summer transfer window closed without any productive advances on either side. But Bayern will not be giving up.
What could have been: Details regarding the transfer were revealed recently and we saw what Bayern Munich would have paid to finally get the German defender’s signature. The agreement, according to Sport Bild’s Christian Falk (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), included a €9 million salary plus €3 million in bonuses. The deal ultimately fell through since Bayer Leverkusen did not end up agreeing to the terms, and did not let their star defender go.
However, Bayern Munich will not give up on their pursuit of Tah, as Max Eberl wants the defender on a free transfer next summer when his current contract will expire.
What do you think? Is €12 million in salaries justifiable for Jonathan Tah? Or is Eberl chasing the wrong lead?
