Reports: Bayern make improved offer for Tah

Reports claim that Bayern Munich have made an improved offer for Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah.

Bayern Munich have made a second bid for Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Jonathan Tah, according to multiple sources, including Kicker, Sky Germany and Bild. 

Bayern are said to have offered €20 million plus €5 million in add-ons for the Germany international, who already has an agreement in principle with the Bavarians. 

However, it seems that the offer isn't high enough to convince Die Werkself to sell, with Bild reporting that the German champions are holding out for €25 million plus €5 million in add-ons. 

Tah's contract with Bayer Leverkusen expires in the summer of 2025.
