Help for Harry Kane! Bayern Munich poach Jonathan Tah from rivals Bayer Leverkusen as Vincent Kompany looks to build on maiden Bundesliga title

FIFA Club World Cup

Bayern Munich

Auckland City FC

<p>Tah has been a major part of Bayer Leverkusen's rise to the top under Xabi Alonso, however, the German centre-back had decided that he would be leaving Die Wekself after the end of his contract this summer. The 29-year-old had been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona before the Catalan side handed Ronald Araujo a new contract and pulled out of the race.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Bayern Munich had pushed themselves in the lead to sign Tah this summer through the end of the season, and Vincent Kompany's Bundesliga winners have now announced the signing of the German centre-back on a four-year contract until the summer of 2029.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="de" dir="ltr">♦️ Jonathan Tah 🤝 FC Bayern ♦️<br><br>FC Bayern sign Jonathan Tah. ✍️<br><br>🔗 <a href="https://t.co/cHa31c2TL9">https://t.co/cHa31c2TL9</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MiaSanMia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MiaSanMia</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ServusJona?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ServusJona</a> <a href="https://t.co/jMrA9MOQvr">pic.twitter.com/jMrA9MOQvr</a></p>— FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBayernEN/status/1927984708677153152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 29, 2025</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to club media, Tah said: “I want to take on responsibility here and work hard every day so that we’re successful as a team and win lots of trophies together.”</p><p>Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jonathan Tah to FC Bayern. As an experienced international and leader, he brings the consistency and quality that will strengthen our defence. He’s a real gain for us – and he’s also proven that he can win titles."</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>The 29-year-old centre-back will wear the No. 4 jersey at Bayern Munich and will be available to play for Kompany's side at the Club World Cup in the United States in June. Tah's onboarding could potentially push Kim Min-jae to the bench.</p>
