Bayer Leverkusen has received several offers for 27-year-old Burkinabe central defender Edmond Tapsoba, who has two years remaining on his contract with the German club. A source close to the player's entourage stated that several major European clubs, including Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur, and Atlético Madrid, are closely monitoring his situation. The management at Atlético Madrid reportedly views him as a complete and decisive defender. Inter Milan is said to have been tracking Tapsoba for over two and a half years but was previously deterred by Leverkusen's high financial demands. Naples and Newcastle have also shown interest in recent months. Bayer Leverkusen's position on a transfer is firm, requiring a minimum of 40 million euros for the player. The defender has 60 caps and 4 goals for Burkina Faso and has made 17 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists. Reports from July 2025 stated that Newcastle United made an offer of approximately €58 million. Separately, recent reports mention a release clause between €95 million and €100 million.
