Jonathan Tah

The available data centers on the fee for an early release ahead of a free transfer in summer 2025. In December 2024, Transfermarkt's valuation was noted at €30 million. During negotiations in May-June 2025, reports indicated Bayer Leverkusen initially asked for €7 million, later reducing it to a range of €2-4 million. Multiple sources reported an agreement was reached for a fee between €800,000 and €2 million, with potential bonuses that could take the total up to €4 million. The completed transfer history lists a fee of €800,000 in June 2025 from Bayer Leverkusen to FC Bayern München.

Our valuation is driven by the unique circumstances of Jonathan Tah's transfer to FC Bayern München. As his contract with Bayer Leverkusen was expiring, the transfer was effectively free from July 1, 2025. The fee discussed was solely for an early release in June 2025 for the Club World Cup. Reports consistently place Leverkusen's demands between €2-4 million, while agreed-upon figures are cited as low as €800,000 plus bonuses, or a total package of approximately €2 million. Our estimate reflects the most likely final fee including achievable bonuses for this early access.
