Shines with Xabi Alonso in Germany, the Premier League giant who would pay 30 million for him

Bayer Leverkusen is shining brightly this season. Xabi Alonso's team wants to surprise everyone and win the Bundesliga in the current season. After this situation, a team appears that is interested in one of its great pillars. This is a Premier League team that is looking to sign him at any cost.

The January transfer window is shaping up to be a scene of intense competition between Newcastle United and West Ham United for talented Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah. Although the 27-year-old has had a stellar performance in the Bundesliga, his future at the German club is in doubt as he shows no interest in renewing his contract.

Newcastle United, according to Football Transfers, have joined the race for Tah, seeing him as a solid alternative to reinforce their defensive line. The Magpies, who have faced difficulties with injuries and losses of key players in defence, view Tah as a valuable option. Despite his €18 million clause in the summer, the English club could look to negotiate a price now.

The two clubs that want to sign Tah

With 18 months left on his contract, Tah faces a crossroads in his career. Interest from the Premier League has influenced his outlook, and Newcastle could become more reliant on him in the context of Bayer Leverkusen's current season. However, the negotiations will not be simple and will require concerted efforts from the clubs involved. On the other hand, West Ham United also enters the dispute, considering Tah as an alternative to replace Nayef Aguerd.
