Bayern reportedly wants him.

If you can't beat them, buy them.
Would be really dumb in my opinion. After Upamecano, De Ligt and Kim they want another expensive centre-back? They wanna compete with Pep for the biggest spending on centre-backs?
That said, if your team sucks in defending overall, the best centre-backs in the world won't give you stability. Defending is a team's job, not only the back line.

It seems we have been linked to him. Dont know how we will have the money or is just a fake news.
But the guy is a beast. And a leader at the back. Would be perfect.

If he was such a beast why is he still at Leverkusen at the age of 28????

The reason is probably De Ligt signing for Manchester United.. They got 50M from that deal..

Don't see much difference to Cortes in the B team. Cortes is alot better solid and great ball skills. We shouldn't be after a CB we need a fullback that can help Balde and Kounde we need someone good. Just like we need another good winger to help Lamine, Raphinha and Lewa

A lot of reports we are very close to signing him. Never really watched him, don't know why we need him. I just hope this doesn't mean that Araujo is leaving. Maybe the club doesn't belive in Christensen anymore because of that injury.

Why do you guys think he's a bum????

He's a starter at Leverkusen. They won their league last season, they are TOP 8 now in UCL and they are 3rd in the League this season.
The guy practically has no history of injury. And he plays a high line, which we play aswell.

He should be one of the CBs we should be looking at, especially as a backup and for free.

Because he's fat and looks like he's 35.
We are being told that signing yonger players is priority. Also how does Tah compute in high line where you desire faster defenders?

We're set for CBs anyway.

Not a faster defender, but Leverkusen plays high line, and they perform well in it, in which Tah is a starter. That implies he's well adapted to play that kind of football.
He's not fat, lol. It's probably his build. There cannot be a single fat player in high-level football. He's 28 too. Young enough.
I kinda agree with you. We are set for CBs, but when everyone is fit. Christensen is made of glass, and I read rumours that we are looking to offload him. Araujo is injury-prone too. If we are looking to replace any of these two, I believe Tah suits us well.
