Bayer Leverkusen defender, Jonathan Tah is reportedly anticipated to choose Barcelona transfer over Chelsea and Manchester United.
Tah has excelled at Leverkusen, helping them win the Bundesliga title without a loss and advance to the Europa League final last season.
However, it appears that he will now join Barcelona on a free transfer, as Mundo Deportivo reports that the deal is likely to be completed.
Caught Offside reported that Chelsea and United were interested in signing Tah, but it now appears that the Germany international has decided to join Barcelona rather than the Premier League.

Bringing in a big name like Tah for free will undoubtedly be a huge success for the Catalan giants, given Barcelona are currently dealing with well-documented financial issues.
It’s easy to understand why teams like the Blues and United are eager to get the 29-year-old, since he can bring quality and experience into any side.
When Thiago Silva left Stamford Bridge last summer, Chelsea lost a seasoned defensive player, and they could likely use someone with his caliber joining them.
Tah might have been a perfect fit to help United, who need a complete overhaul under new manager Ruben Amorim replace unconvincing players like Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt.
