Barcelona s signings were hit: two major targets fell one after another, Bundesliga iron guards joined their arch-rivals

Barcelona's transfer plan this summer has suffered a heavy blow. According to Sky Sports, German central defender Jonathan Tach has been confirmed to join Bayern Munich; while Portuguese winger Rafael Leo was abandoned by Barcelona due to his attitude.

Tah joins Bayern: Barcelona's visa-free plan failed

As one of the best central defenders in the Bundesliga, the 29-year-old Tah helped Leverkusen win the historic Bundesliga championship last season and remains the core of the team this season. Its contract expires this summer, and Barcelona originally wanted to sign the player who is in line with the "low-cost and high-efficiency" strategy for free - especially in the context of doubts about the future of Ronald Araujo, Eric Garcia and Christensen.

But Bayern has made an agreement with Taher: he will complete his medical examination next week and sign a four-year contract, and Bayern will negotiate an early termination fee with Leverkusen to ensure that he can participate in the World Cup. This means that Barcelona's defense line signing plan has been forced to turn.

Leo's attitude problem caused Barcelona to give up: From "Chairman's Darling" to "Blacklist"

Barcelona has been seeking a left-wing attacker this summer. AC Milan's Leo (12 goals and 13 assists this season) was a key target, and Chairman Laporta is even his admirer. However, recent news shows that Barcelona has terminated its pursuit due to the following reasons:

Professional attitude is doubtful: Leo's contract renewal dispute with Milan exposed his "insufficient investment on the court", and Barcelona is worried that it will destroy the existing locker room atmosphere;

Management differences: Sports director Deco "has a reservation" about the strength of this compatriot, and the club finally decided to turn to other goals.
