Barcelona on the verge of completing the first signing of 2025: the main competitor considers the player “lost”

While Barcelona desperately tries to recover its accounts so that it can register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor before the end of the year, that has not stopped sporting director Deco from continuing with his affairs. Barcelona’s first signing in 2025 is expected to be Jonathan Tah.

According to Relevo, Bayern Munich have lost hope of signing the Bayer Leverkusen defender. The 28-year-old is “on the verge” of signing for Barcelona, ​​and they will try to close the deal in the first days of January. With his current contract ending in the summer, Barcelona can sign a contract with him in just a few hours.

Tah’s arrival is expected to herald the departure of other Barcelona defenders. Eric Garcia’s days at the club appear to be numbered, while Andreas Christensen will also be up for sale in the summer if Tah arrives. The other moving party is Ronald Araujo: if Barcelona cannot agree a new contract with the Uruguayan, their plans with Christensen could change. If Tah signs on the dotted line, he will be at Hansi Flick’s disposal along with Íñigo Martínez and Pau Cubarsi next summer.
