Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah has reportedly reiterated his desire to move to Bayern Munich this summer.
The 28-year-old joined Die Werkself in 2015 and has gone on to feature 258 times in the Bundesliga, with 31 league games played in Leverkusen's historic season that saw them dethrone Bayern after the latter's 11-year consecutive reign.
However, the defender is keen to move on after nine years at BayArena, and the Bavarians are trying to reach an agreement for the Germany international.
While reports have surfaced suggesting Premier League clubs or Saudi Pro League sides could try to tempt the defender, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Tah’s only interest is switching to Bayern this summer.
🔴🇩🇪 Jonathan Tah has been clear: he wants to go to Bayern, no interest in Saudi Pro League or PL clubs.

What comes next?
It remains to be seen if both clubs agree on a fee for the 28-year-old, who is representing Germany at the ongoing European Championship, even if Tah will miss the hosts’ round of 16 match against Denmark.
The winner of that clash in Dortmund goes on to face Spain or Georgia in the quarter-finals in Stuttgart.
