Edmond Tapsoba has emerged as a leading defensive target for Newcastle United this summer. According to TEAMtalk, Newcastle United are monitoring the Bayer Leverkusen centre-back closely and are maintaining close dialogue as they assess the possibility of strengthening their back line. Although the German club would prefer to retain Tapsoba, who signed a contract extension until 2031 earlier this year, they are open to a suitable financial offer.

Newcastle United are among the Premier League clubs that are leading contenders to sign Edmond Tapsoba. Leverkusen has set a price of €50 million (£43m) for Tapsoba.

Newcastle United are interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Edmond Tapsoba. Christian Falk confirmed Newcastle's interest, but they have not yet submitted an offer. The major issue is Tapsoba's release clause of €100 million (£86.2 million), which Newcastle may not be willing to pay. Leverkusen are not likely to sell him for less if they stick to their current approach, suggesting Tapsoba will remain at the BayArena unless Newcastle makes a significant offer.

Newcastle United is pressing hard in their pursuit of Edmond Tapsoba. According to the Mirror, the Magpies are offering Bayer Leverkusen approximately 58 million euros for the Burkina Faso international. Newcastle has been interested in the central defender for some time, who is contractually bound to Leverkusen until 2028.
