New man Tah ready to play a leading role at Bayern
dpa Munich Newly signed Jonathan Tah is ready to take a leadership role at Bayern Munich as he said the Bundesliga champions were at another level than his previous long-time club Bayer Leverkusen. Tah, 29, left Leverkusen on a free transfer in summer after 10 years, highlighted by their unbeaten domestic 2023-24 campaign for a maiden Bundesliga title and success in the German Cup. The Germany defender already played at the recent Club World Cup for Bayern who have other strong and experienced centre backs within their ranks, such as Dayot Upamecano and Kim Minjae. 'There are so many players here who have won and experienced a lot in their career - that is definitely something completely different,' Tah told club magazine 51. Bayern signed Tah to bolster their defence with his experience, and he said he was ready to do his share as Bayern aim to challenge on all fronts from the Bundesliga to the Champions League. 'I want to take on responsibility here. That's what the club expects of me, what the team probably expects of me, but above all it's what I expect of myself,' he said. 'Nevertheless, you always have to earn a role like this first.'

Leverkusen signs England Under-21 defender Jarell Quansah from Liverpool
LEVERKUSEN: Bayer Leverkusen has replaced former captain Jonathan Tah with Jarell Quansah from Liverpool in a club-record signing for a defender. The 22-year-old Quansah signed a contract through June 2030 and will wear Tah's former No. 4 shirt, the Bundesliga club said Wednesday. The reported fee of more than 30 million euros ($35.3 million) rising to 40 million ($47 million) with bonuses corresponds roughly with what Liverpool agreed to pay Leverkusen for Netherlands right back Jeremie Frimpong in May. Liverpool reportedly secured a buy-back option for Quansah for more than 60 million euros ($70.6 million) after he has spent two seasons at Leverkusen. Leverkusen also sold star player Florian Wirtz to Liverpool last month for a Bundesliga-record fee. Tah switched to league rival Bayern Munich once the season concluded after declining to extend his contract. He had spent a decade at Leverkusen and was a key part of the team which won the Bundesliga and German Cup unbeaten in 2023-24. Quansah won the Under-21 European Championship with England last week. But he was unable to establish himself as a regular starter at Liverpool ahead of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté.
