Bayer Leverkusen has received several offers for Edmond Tapsoba, a 27-year-old Burkinabe central defender who has two years remaining on his contract. A source close to the player's entourage stated that several major European clubs are monitoring the situation, including Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur, and Atlético Madrid. Inter's interest in Tapsoba reportedly dates back more than two and a half years, but they have previously been deterred by Leverkusen's high asking price. Naples and Newcastle have also shown interest in the past. Bayer Leverkusen requires a minimum payment of 40 million euros to sell the player.
Tapsoba has 60 caps for Burkina Faso and in the current 2025/2026 Bundesliga season, he has made 17 appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists. His current Transfermarkt valuation is €35.00m. According to reports from July 2025, Newcastle United made an offer of approximately €58 million. A release clause of €95-100 million was also reported in February 2026.
