The centre back had previous contacts with Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich, who were keen to reinforce their defensive line with an experienced star, but the player has opted for Barcelona.
According to the Spanish outlet's report, Tah accepted a fee significantly lower than he could have had in Bayern Munich due to the fact that he has been a Barcelona fan since childhood.
Should they complete the transfer, former Chelsea star Andreas Christensen could see his departure from Barcelona.
However, Barcelona would have to regulate their squad ahead of the German's arrival, who could become their sixth centre back, without considering Jules Kounde, who is regularly seen on the right flank of the pitch.
It is understood that Blaugrana's board took advantage of their visit to Germany for the Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund in December, to meet and agree with the player's environment, even though according to FIFA regulations, they are allowed to negotiate with free agents after January 1st.
