"Thanks largely in parts to efforts from board member for sport Max Eberl and Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund, the German Rekordmeister were able to have Tah released from Leverkusen and in the Bayern squad on time for the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, which was a huge plus for Vincent Kompany in terms of getting a proper preseason of sorts under Tah's belt."
"So far this season, Tah has made a total of thirty appearances across all competitions, having added three goals and two assists along the way. He's formed quite the formidable partnership at the heart of Bayern's backline alongside Dayot Upamecano and with the Frenchman's much-anticipated contract extension, the pair will be a solid duo in Bayern's backline for seasons to come."
"I had the three or four most successful years of my career after turning 30. I've been following Jona for some time; he was one of my successors at HSV, then he went to Leverkusen. He's steadily improved. He's now in his prime. Being a defender isn't just about winning duels, it's also about communication. You bring that with experience. Jona has that, and we're very happy with him,"
Jonathan Tah joined Bayern Munich from Bayer Leverkusen last summer after a release engineered by Max Eberl and Christoph Freund, allowing his inclusion for the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, which aided his preseason under Vincent Kompany. Tah has made thirty appearances across all competitions this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists. He partners with Dayot Upamecano at center back, and Upamecano's contract extension secures the pairing long-term. Tah turns 30 and joins other senior Bayern players, and Kompany praises his steady improvement, experience, and communication as key defender qualities.
