Jonathan Tah receives offer from Chelsea and Manchester United

Manchester United and Chelsea probably won’t be able to sign Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen in January. The player and the club don’t want to make a move at this time, according to reports.

The 27-year-old almost left Leverkusen in the summer. He had a release clause in his contract for just £15million, but no clubs ended up using it.

His potential future teammates may be sorry now because the defender has played 12 games in the Bundesliga this season and has helped his team reach the top of the table without losing any games.

Tah has caught the attention of United, Newcastle, and West Ham with his performances. He only has 18 months left on his contract as a Germany international player.

Sky Sport Germany says that Chelsea are interested in the experienced defender and have inquired about him.

However, Leverkusen won’t sell Tah in the middle of the season and the player won’t ask to leave.

Leverkusen is doing really well, and Tah wants to stay and win trophies with the team because he has been there for eight years.

He also doesn’t like the idea of changing teams during the middle of the season, especially because the European Championship is going to be held in Germany next summer, and he wants to play in it.

However, he wants to try playing in the Premier League in the future and will consider his options when his contract has only one year left.

Even though Leverkusen usually keeps their players, they are okay with letting Tah go. This is different from when they fought off a big offer for Tapsoba from Spurs last summer.

This will be their final opportunity to make money from the defender, and they hope to get about £21. 5 million for him.

United are looking for a new defender because they are not sure if Raphael Varane will stay for a long time. Varane, who is a veteran player from France, may leave in January because he is not playing much for the team.

Chelsea is thinking that Thiago Silva might leave at the end of this season. They have already bought some young defenders, but they might still sign another one in January, especially if they sell Trevoh Chalobah.
