Football Transfer Centre

Manchester United and Liverpool could go head-to-head to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah on a free transfer.

Tah has been a mainstay for Leverkusen over several seasons, but he has made the decision to leave when his contract expires next summer.

Bayern Munich are one of the front-runners to recruit him, but SportBILD claim that the centre-back has his sights on a Premier League move.

United and Liverpool have been mentioned as suitors, but it is unclear whether the Red Devils will make an approach for his services.

The Red Devils made a huge outlay to land Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro this summer and the duo are expected to become regular starters.

Tah is unlikely to be assured a starting role. Furthermore, United may need to qualify for the Champions League to persuade him.

Liverpool are better placed. They are regulars in the Champions League and may see Tah as a possible replacement for Virgil van Dijk.

Van Dijk has entered the last year of his deal with the Reds. The hierarchy have yet to open negotiations over a contract renewal.
