That is according 🍃to , which has reported whether or not Liverpool think that they could do a deal for the 6ft 5in defender.

Tah is on the book꧒s of Bayer Leverkusen ꦅat the moment. The 27-year-old is under contract at the German club .

Liverpool “feel a deal could be done” for Tah in January, according t0 90min, which has noted that “there’s an expectation that, were a transfer to be pulled off, the Germany international could seamlessly slot into the side if and when r🍌equired.”

Chelsea have been linked with Tah. West Ham United were reportedly offered the defender in the summer of 2023.

My View: Liverpool could struggle to sign Jonathan Tah

In my view, Liverpool could struggle to sign Jonathan Tah fr༒♕om Bayer Leverkusen in the January transfer window.

I do not think that Bayer will sell the defender in the middle of the season. After all, Xa𒅌bi Alonso’s side ar♒e aiming to win the Bundesliga.

Bayer are at the top of the Bundesliga table with 35 points from 13 matches. They are three points clear of defending champions and second-placed Bayern Munich, who have 𒐪played 12 games.

I do not see Bayer selling Tah in January at all. Of course, money talks, but, as I have noted above, Alonso could lead🀅 the German club to the Bundesliga title this season.

Tah has scoꦰred three goals in 12 Bundesliga matches this season and scored one goal in 33 Bundesliga games i💝n the last campaign.
