On May 28, Italian famous reporter Skira revealed that defensive player Jonatan Ta, whose upcoming contract with Leverkusen is expected to sign with Bayern this week. He will receive a four-year contract with an annual salary of 12 million euros before tax. In addition, Bayern will pay an additional 1 million euros in exchange for players to leave the team early so as to accompany the team to play in the Club World Cup held in June.

29-year-old Jonatan Ta is an active German international and a core defensive player who won the double championships of the 2023/24 Bundesliga and German Cup with an unbeaten record. That season, Towers played in 48 games and handed in 6 goals and 1 assist, with remarkable performance. Although Leverkusen failed to defend his title in both sides this season, Tah still has 49 games and 4 goals, including 3 goals in 33 games in the Bundesliga, which can contribute 0.58 steals, 1.12 interceptions and 4.79 clearances per game, sending 2,295 passes and 5 key passes, with a passing success rate of up to 93%.

As a central defender, Tower has a height of 1.95 meters and strong physical ability, and has a good level of foot skills and ball shooting. He is a very powerful defender player. With the contract with Leverkusen expired this summer, Towers has also been favored by many European giants, including Barcelona and Bayern, who regained their respective league titles, and Bayern finally got the last laugh. Although Barcelona is also striving for it, the 29-year-old German iron defender still seems to be going to the Allianz Stadium. This is undoubtedly a great strengthening for Bayern, who has injured soldiers on the back line this season.

It is worth mentioning that Jonathan Ta's annual salary in Leverkusen is 6 million euros, and this time he joined Bayern, his salary has successfully doubled. This may also be the most important reason why Ta chose not to renew his contract with the pharmaceutical factory. After all, he is 29 years old, and joining Bayern should be the last chance to play for the top European giants. As the saying goes, people go to a high place, there is nothing wrong with choosing the tower like this.

According to German Sky Sports reporter Pletenberg, Jonathan Ta will arrive in Munich today for a physical examination and officially sign the contract. The report also pointed out that Tajikistan will follow Bayern to compete in the Club World Cup. However, Bayern needs to pay Leverkusen 1 million euros in compensation for this in exchange for the early departure of the Tower. Because the latter's contract was signed on June 30. Leverkusen's asking price is a fixed 2 million euro plus a surcharge of 500,000 euros. Therefore, it remains to be seen what price the two sides can reach an agreement.
