Barcelona enquire about Tah; Bayern cool on January sale

Written on 10 Nov 2026, before the latest reports. The ring above is live.

The situation

Barcelona want an experienced centre-back to partner Pau Cubarsí, and Jonathan Tah has emerged as a name for January. The latest word is an enquiry, nothing firmer. Florian Plettenberg reported on 9 November that Barcelona have asked about the 30-year-old, with Deco and Hansi Flick continuing to rate him highly. The same reports carry two clear brakes: Tah is not considering a move, and Bayern are not willing to let him leave in the winter.

The reporting

Plettenberg carried it on 9 November, relayed the same day by Transfer News Live. Sky Sport Deutschland reported Barcelona's interest and the initial enquiry too, with Barça Universal passing that on by 9 November. So this is two voices, Plettenberg and Sky Sport Deutschland, both describing an enquiry and both noting the player and his club are cool on it.

The outlook

The chance for January is slim. For anything to happen, Tah would have to change his mind and Bayern would have to shift from not planning to sell, and right now neither has moved. He has 30 months left on his contract when the next La Liga window opens on 1 January 2027, running until 30 June 2029, so Bayern hold every card and have no need to deal.

What happens next

What would change this is simple to name: Tah signalling he is open to leaving, Bayern setting a price, and a formal Barcelona bid. Until the enquiry becomes an offer, this stays interest and little more.
