Back in February, Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl ruled out a move for Tah after failing to agree a deal with Bayer Leverkusen last summer. However, with the 29-year-old now set to become a free agent, Bayern have renewed their interest. Talks with Tah’s camp are underway, with Die Roten eager to strike a deal this month, especially as Barcelona remain entangled in resolving potential departures from their overcrowded defensive unit.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the Bundesliga giants are keeping tabs on Borussia Mönchengladbach's Japanese centre-back Ko Itakura.
