Fabrizio Romano announces it: Rüdiger's partner signs with Bayern and says goodbye

Real Madrid is very focused on making several signings a reality during the upcoming summer transfer window. The urgent need to add players to Santiago Bernabéu locker room, especially in the defensive line, has put several names on the table. One of the most recurring has been Jonathan Tah, who is now very close to Bayern Munich.

This is what Fabrizio Romano has reported in one of his latest social media posts. The Italian journalist points out that "Bayern's formal proposal to Jonathan Tah has been internally approved by the club". From the noble area of the BayArena, they would have accepted the requirements for Jonathan Tah to leave as a free agent to the Bavarian club this season, including his new salary.

To make this operation a reality, only the "green light from the player" would be necessary. Fabrizio Romano points out that Jonathan Tah's approval of his future as a Bayern Munich player is the "last crucial step" to solve this saga regarding the German center-back. Everything depends right now on the '4' werkself, given that he has no more offers to continue his soccer career.

Real Madrid seems to have refrained from entering the race to acquire Jonathan Tah's services, Fabrizio Romano indirectly points out. The Bayer Leverkusen footballer represented an appropriate signing for the white club, especially taking as reference the additions of other center-backs like David Alaba or Antonio Rüdiger in past summers.

Other targets

Jonathan Tah fit the style of signings made by the white club for the center of defense in recent seasons, but the white board anticipates the change. The urgency to add long-term and high-potential center-backs leaves out of that particular equation players who have the profile of Jonathan Tah himself. Instead, players like Dean Huijsen regain positions.

Especially the '2' of AFC Bournemouth, whose profile perfectly meets all the demands required from the Valdebebas offices. He is a young center-back, with some experience in the European soccer elite, and with the left foot as the dominant foot. Additionally, his Spanish nationality and recent drafts with the national team would allow recovering the lost ground in the national scene in recent years.

So much so that the closeness between Dean Huijsen's entourage and Real Madrid would have materialized in multiple conversations revealed recently. Those closest to the cherry center-back understand that the Spanish footballer's "dream" is to wear the white jersey... to the point that his father is willing to do many things to complete Huijsen's signing by the white entity.

Nothing is assured yet despite the optimism of the last few hours, because from the noble area of the Vitality Stadium, they haven't changed their strict economic demands. The club that wishes to sign Dean Huijsen will have to pay his release clause, about 60 million euros, which seem very high for Real Madrid. The white executives are already working on reducing that price, perhaps with the help of Huijsen's own entourage.
