Juventus has reportedly been in discussions with the agents of Jonathan Tah, the central defender from Bayer Leverkusen and the German national team, whose contract is set to expire in June.
However, according to reports from Calciomercato.com, Barcelona is currently leading the race for the 27-year-old’s signature, outpacing interest from both Juventus and Inter Milan.
Jonathan Tah, known for his solid performances at the heart of Leverkusen’s defense, has become a free agent target for several top clubs.
However, Barcelona seems to have taken a significant lead in negotiations, ready to meet Tah’s financial expectations, which could be a decisive factor in his decision.

Despite the competition, Juventus has not shied away from showing interest in Tah. The Bianconeri have engaged with his representatives, hoping to persuade him to join their ranks.
Juventus’s approach is often characterized by a blend of financial prudence alongside the allure of playing for a club with a rich history and competitive ambitions in both Serie A and European competitions.
The Bianconeri are in need of a centre-defender after suffering two ACL injuries already this season to Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal, and Tah’s profile fits well with what Juventus might be looking for in a central defender.
However, they will have to battle Barcelona, whose interest in Tah is driven by their need for defensive reinforcement, and their readiness to meet his demands financially gives them a clear edge.
