Bayern’s Tah coy on Schlotterbeck rumours: “If he needs advice, I’m always here”

Here’s what Bayern Munich centre-half Jonathan Tah had to say about the rumours linking Nico Schlotterbeck to the Bavarians.

Ahead of Germany’s meetings with Luxembourg and Slovakia, Jonathan Tah revealed he has not talked about a potential move to Bayern Munich with compatriot Nico Schlotterbeck.

“We haven’t discussed that. It’s an exciting situation for Nico. He’s an outstanding player who always works on himself and wants to improve. It’s a crucial moment in his career.

“I hope he makes the right decision. All doors are open to him. If he needs advice, I’m always here,” said Tah at the national team’s press conference this afternoon. 

The centre-half also praised former teammate Leroy Sané and discussed how he focuses for games against minnows like Luxembourg after tricky club fixtures against Paris Saint-Germain.

“He’s [Sané] very positive. I’m happy that Leroy is here, I’ve known him for a long time and we’re friends. He’s performing, that’s why he’s here. And he’ll perform here as well.

“To be honest it’s not difficult. Regardless of the opponent, we as Germany players have to perform at our best on the pitch. That’s our ambition, as individual players and as a team,” he explained.
