Liverpool and Tottenham to battle it out for Jonathan Tah

Liverpool will be looking to bring a centre-back at Anfield Stadium in the upcoming 2025 transfer intervals after having failed to replace Joel Martip, who departed the club in the recently concluded summer transfer window. And the Reds have been laying blue prints to recognise the potential targets who can resolve the central defensive position at Anfield Stadium for years to come.

Things get more complicated when you go beyond Matip into the central defensive dilemma at the AXA training centre. Virgil van Dijk’s contract at the club runs out at the end of the ongoing campaign. The Dutchman’s contract complications are complemented by the fact that Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez have had their availability problems.

This is where a need for new CB arises, and the Merseyside Reds are looking at Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah. The 28-year-old is set to become a free agent soon, and the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona are looking at possibilities to land him. However, per the latest reports via. German outlet BILD, Tottenham Hotspur are also considering a move for Tah.

Liverpool look to address Matip departure with Tah signing

Jonathan Tah has taken massive strides since he moved to Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, and he has taken his to the next level since Xabi Alonso took over the reins at the German champions. And he is now looking to explore different challenges in his career as he looks beyond his home for the better part of the decade.

However, the race for his signatures is not as easy with Tottenham coming into the picture. While Ange Postecoglou wants to add depth to his defensive roster, given the fact that Cristian Romero could leave White Hart Lane at the end of the season owing to his links with a move to Real Madrid, he may look at the German veteran to take up his place in the heart of the defence.
