Tottenham is interested in German and Ivorian centre-back Karim Coulibaly and has made him a priority for the upcoming transfer window. The management of the London club reportedly considers the 18-year-old, who has one cap for Germany's U21 team, to be one of Europe's most promising prospects in his position. Tottenham faces significant competition, as Newcastle United is also considered among the best-positioned English clubs to sign him. Manchester United is also closely monitoring the player, according to Sky Sport. Other major clubs interested in the defender are Borussia Dortmund, PSG, and Real Madrid. Coulibaly has made 22 appearances and scored one goal in the Bundesliga this season. He earns an annual salary of 380,000 euros in Germany, has a contract until June 2029, and is valued on Transfermarkt at 22 million euros. Werder Bremen's asking price was widely reported in March 2026 to be between €40 million and €50 million. The club also reportedly rejected multiple offers during the winter 2026 transfer window, one of which was for €20 million.
