Real Madrid and Barcelona battle for German star

A Spanish sports report revealed today, Wednesday, that Real Madrid has decided to compete with Barcelona for a new signing next summer.

Barcelona is aiming to sign German defender Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen, who has decided to leave his club next summer upon the expiration of his contract at BayArena.

According to the Catalan newspaper "Sport," Real Madrid has decided to enter the race to sign Tah, to compensate for the failure of the French player, Lenny Lacroix, deal.

Real Madrid had been pursuing Lacroix from Lille, but the player made a surprising decision to move to Manchester United in the last summer transfer window.

As a result, Real Madrid intends to sign a new central defender, especially after the departure of their former player Nacho Fernandez.

Real Madrid is still exploring the market in search of a young central defender, or a player similar to Rudiger and Alaba, experienced players who arrived on free transfers.

Tah fits this profile, as he is 28 years old, strong at 1.98 meters tall, has experience, and will arrive on a free transfer.
