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.

Edmond Tapsoba, aged 25 and playing for Bayer Leverkusen, is being considered by Newcastle United as a potential candidate to strengthen their central defense.

There has been communication with Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen over a potential deal for Edmond Tapsoba.
