Jonathan Tah was heavily linked with a move away from Bayer Leverkusen last summer, when both Bayern Munich and Barcelona were keen to sign him.

In the end, Tah remained at Leverkusen, but Die Werkself appear to have little chance of keeping the centre-back beyond the summer, when his contract expires.

Sky Germany has confirmed a report from Spanish outlet Jijantes FC that Barcelona sporting director Deco met with Tah and his representatives on Thursday to discuss a summer transfer.

Barcelona and head coach Hansi Flick, who like Tah is represented by super-agent Pini Zahavi, now appear to be leading the race for the Germany international ahead of Bayern.

The 28-year-old has played for Leverkusen since 2015.
