Brentford and Newcastle are competing to sign Bazoumana Touré, with both clubs preparing to make official offers to Hoffenheim. The German club is demanding 50 million euros for Touré, an amount considered high by both English clubs. Discussions are progressing quickly and an agreement could be reached for a fee between 35 and 40 million euros. Brentford is accelerating the process and is expected to submit a proposal to Hoffenheim this week.

Brentford are considering a move for Bazoumana Toure and are expected to make an offer.

According to 'Bild', Brentford is one of three Premier League clubs that is intensively interested in Bazoumana Touré. Touré is under contract with TSG Hoffenheim until 2029. The club's sporting director, Andreas Schicker, has repeatedly emphasized that TSG Hoffenheim wants to keep key players but is open to discussions if appropriate offers are made. It is reported that an interested party would have to offer 40 to 50 million euros for Touré.

Brentford is one of several Premier League clubs monitoring Hoffenheim's 19-year-old winger, Bazoumana Touré. Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle United have also started initial background checks and data-driven scouting on the player. Scouts from England have been impressed by the Ivorian, who has one cap for his country, and clubs are aware that a potential call-up to the World Cup squad could increase the competition to sign him. Despite reports of possible bids around €35 million, Hoffenheim is determined not to sell him in January. The German club internally values Touré at approximately €44–45 million, a valuation supported by his long-term contract. A move to England would also involve a substantial salary increase from his current earnings of around €840,000 per year. Sources close to the situation suggest the most probable outcome is that clubs will increase contact in January to prepare for the summer, which is when the most significant part of the effort to sign him is expected to happen. Touré, who joined Hoffenheim in February 2025 from Hammarby for a reported €10 million, has 2 goals and 5 assists in 14 Bundesliga appearances this season and has a current market value of €25.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
