Inter and Juve battle it out for a Bundesliga bigwig: the coup is a big one but watch out for competition from Europe’s biggies
Sfida Inter-Juve per un big della Bundesliga: ma occhio alla concorrenza – SerieAnews
The summer soccer market session is approaching, and for Inter and Juventus a summer of intense work is expected between strengthening plans and long-term strategies. Both clubs want to come to next season with deeper roses, ready to support the double commitment between league and cups.
In Turin, new grafts are being considered to shore up the defense and midfield, while in Milan they are reasoning about how to freshen up a backroom that could say goodbye to more than one familiar face. In this scenario, there is one name that is getting everyone to agree: Jonathan Tah.
Jonathan Tah, obiettivo in comune tra Inter e Juventus
The German central player has broken the ice: he will leave Bayer Leverkusen. The news had been in the air for some time, but making it final was the player himself, who after the draw with St. Pauli confirmed his decision: “I will not renew my contract, I will definitely leave the club,” he said.
A clear message, aimed at both fans and interested clubs. The farewell will come as a no-parameter in 2025, but the feeling is that the parting could take place even earlier, perhaps with a congruous offer next summer. The news has rekindled the spotlight on him. Inter is at the window: the future of De Vrij and Acerbi is still uncertain, and a profile like Tah’s – physical, reliable, with international experience – would be ideal for the back pack.
But Juventus is also keeping a close eye on him: the Bianconeri management is looking for ready profiles with room for growth, and the class of ’96 has all the right cards to lead the defense of the new Bianconeri course. The contacts have been there, the sensations are positive, but the game is still to be played.
Non solo Serie A: Bayern e Barcellona sullo sfondo
If Inter and Juve are thinking seriously about it, they are certainly not the only ones. Bayern Munich and Barcelona have been moving for some time: the Bavarians were very close to closing for him as early as last summer, but the deal fell through at the last minute. Now that conditions seem more favorable, the Germans are back on the charge.
Watch out, however, for Barça as well: the Blaugrana are on the hunt for zero-cost strikes to get around the limits related to the wage bill, and Tah would represent an opportunity too tempting not to try. In the meantime, the idea of participating in the Club World Cup-one of the most anticipated additions to the 2025 calendar-attracts the defender in no small part.
And this could make the difference in the final choice: playing at a high level, in a competitive team, with international visibility. Time is running out and the feeling is that, after so many surveys, we are entering the hot phase.
