Barcelona seems to be at the forefront, despite Tah almost moving to Bayern Munich last summer.
The struggling Bavarians are also in need of reinforcements as they might lose left-back Alphonso Davies.
Although he has just turned 24, injury troubles have plagued him throughout recent seasons.
Real Madrid is also a key player in his potential transfer, but Davies could also attract interest in England.
Further forward, Thomas Partey may be nearing the conclusion of his tenure with Arsenal.
He has steadily established himself as a midfield cornerstone.
However, with Jorginho likely leaving, the Gunners might opt to extend Partey’s contract.
Additionally, Joshua Kimmich is another Bayern player facing uncertainties about his future.

Kimmich is regarded as one of the finest players in his role.
However, his salary aspirations may shape his next move.
On the forward line, Leroy Sane, another Bayern star, makes the XI.
The winger has recently found himself sidelined in Vincent Kompany’s plans to Michael Olise.
There’s talk of Arsenal being keen to bring him back to England after his time at Manchester City.
On the other wing, the Egyptian marvel Mo Salah is anticipated to be available.
Currently leading the Premier League in goals, he is crucial in Liverpool’s pursuit of a second title.
Although nearing the twilight of his career, Salah consistently demonstrates that he can sustain a high level of performance for several more years.
In the final attacking midfield slot, Kevin De Bruyne is included, despite experiencing a difficult season at Manchester City.
The Belgian appears to be struggling to secure his position in Pep Guardiola’s setup.
Nonetheless, his previous contributions as the linchpin of City’s midfield, leading them to six championships and a Champions League victory, remain unforgettable.
Finally, Son Heung-Min stands out as the premier striker stepping into the concluding months of his contract.
The experienced South Korean forward consistently demonstrates his precise finishing capabilities.
After a trophy-less period with Spurs, he may be inclined to explore new avenues for success.
Moreover, numerous other noteworthy players will also be available next month, including Premier League figures like Kieran Tierney, Harry Maguire, and Amad Diallo, all looking at expiring deals.
Betting enthusiasts might find opportunities to sign a new England international in Angel Gomes.
Furthermore, fans reminiscing about the glory days of European football will be astonished to discover that big names like Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo are also on the market.
