Jonathan Tah's commitment to leave Bayer Leverkusen remains firm

The 28-year-old defender has been clear about his intentions to move to a top European club, even though the summer transfer window has closed.

According to Kicker, Tah remains focused on securing a free transfer next summer, with no plans to extend his contract, which expires in 2025.

Over the weekend, Tah spoke to DAZN, reflecting on his nearly decade-long stint with Leverkusen. His remarks, highlighting his loyalty to the club, led some to speculate that he might reconsider his future and potentially stay beyond his current deal.

However, sources close to the situation suggest otherwise. Tah's stance on leaving remains unchanged, and a contract extension is not on the table.

Despite the collapse of his move to Bayern Munich, Tah has continued to work with his agents, Pini Zahavi and Max Bielefeld.

Although he hinted at some disagreements in a recent interview, he refrained from criticising his representatives directly.

"Other people, of course, I work with them on a certain level, can say what they want. There were one or two things I'll address at a later time, but I don't want to take shots at anyone," Tah said.

Ultimately, Tah's commitment to seeking new opportunities remains firm, and Leverkusen fans may have to come to terms with the fact that his time at the club is nearing its end.
