Jonathan Tah<\/a><\/strong> had important suitors in Europe, but his decision has been clear: stay at home. The German center-back, closely followed by FC Barcelona<\/strong> and also linked to Real Madrid<\/strong>, will sign with Bayern after finishing his contract with Bayer Leverkusen<\/strong>.<\/p>

Permanence in the Bundesliga with European ambitions<\/h2>

Jonathan Tah says goodbye to Leverkusen<\/strong>, where he has been a key player under the command of Xabi Alonso, but he does not leave Germany. He stays to compete at the highest level with Bayern, a club that seeks to regain hegemony both in the Bundesliga and in Europe.<\/p>
