Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah is keen on a move to Barcelona but the current situation makes signing a deal difficult.
Barcelona sporting director Anderson Deco has admitted signing Jonathan Tah will be “not easy”, despite the 28-year-old centre-back being available on a free transfer when his contract with Leverkusen expires this summer.
Barcelona had tried to sign Tah since last summer, with the Blaugrana eyeing the Germany international as a replacement for the potential departure of Ronald Araujo, but the Catalan giants were unable to reach an agreement with Leverkusen, with Bayern Munich also keen on bringing Tah in to bolster their defence.
