Spain's Mundo Deportivo said on the 13th (Korea time) that `Ta will be Barcelona's first player in the 2025-2026 season' and that `Ta chose Barcelona despite Bayern Munich's big offer.' An official from the player's side also said, `Ta wants to wear a Barcelona uniform and will soon discuss a final contract with the club in Barcelona.'
Ta is one of Germany's best centre-backs. He led Leverkusen to an unbeaten league win and DFB last season. He got the attention of a big club. The most active club was Bayern, where Kim Min-jae played. Bayern, which had a gap in the defense due to Kim Min-jae's poor performance in the second half of last season, sent a strong love call to the other.
But Leverkusen did not move. As he was aiming for his second consecutive win, he desperately needed to hit. Bayern also could not afford to invest much money in others, as it spent a lot of money on Hiroki Ito, João Palinha, and Michael Olise. In addition, Ta was a free agent whose contract expired at the end of this season.

Barcelona need to release one into the defensive position to confirm another recruitment. Financial problems must also be addressed. However, as coach Han Ji-Flick strongly wants to recruit others who have been with him since he was a member of the German national team, it is expected to finish well.
As Ta chose Barcelona, not Bayern, it is expected to be a favorable factor for Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae is currently playing as a solid starting player for Bayern. Despite the strong performance, the German media continues to shake Kim Min-jae. Some even say that it is necessary to recruit a replacement. As Targa, who can be the strongest rival when recruited, moves to Barcelona, Kim Min-jae is expected to play as a key defender for Bayern for the time being.
