Liverpool’s Future Star? Target Declares Intent to Leave Club in 2025

Liverpool’s efforts to sign one of their transfer targets have received a significant boost.

Following the appointment of new manager Arne Slot, the Reds had a quiet summer transfer window, making just two acquisitions.

Along with Federico Chiesa, an Italian forward, the team also welcomed custodian Giorgi Mamardashvili.

To solve the problems with their team, more players were predicted to be signed by the Reds.

The rejection of Real Sociedad player Martin Zubimendi would have been detrimental to both the manager and the Merseyside club.

They will, however, be more than satisfied with their choices in attack and defence, as they have shown a great deal of promise thus far in the season.

Journalist Christian Falk claims that Jonathan Tah of Bayer Leverkusen is one of the players that Liverpool may consider to replace centre-back Virgil Van Dijk.

The Dutch defender’s contract is about to expire, therefore it’s probable that Liverpool has begun preparing for life without him behind closed doors.

The team might have to move for Tah, who won the title with Leverkusen the previous season, given Van Dijk’s uncertain future.

The defender has made it clear that he does not want to have his contract renewed and will be leaving the Bundesliga team at the end of the current campaign. He is now in the final year of his contract.

Fabrizio Romano shared what the defender told SZ on his X account.

Jonathan Tah: “I refuse to sign a contract extension with Bayer Leverkusen.” I’ve made up my mind.

“I’ll give it everything I’ve got till the very end here, and then we’ll discuss my future club. However, I’ve decided to go try something new.

He might be the perfect addition for Liverpool, who need a new centre defender, as he will be a free agent in the summer.

The club needs a new centre-back for Liverpool.

Even if Van Dijk decides to remain longer at Anfield, Tah might give Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate some competition.

Having played over 350 times for the German club and 29 times for Germany, he has a great deal of expertise.

After Joel Matip left the club this summer, it was believed that the Merseysiders would want to add a new centre-back, but they finally opted against it.

Tah will have no shortage of suitors come summertime, and should Liverpool wish to acquire him, they will need to speak with him in January of the following year when the player will be eligible to ink a pre-contract with his prospective new team.
