Bayer Leverkusen has made significant strides in securing its future by extending the contract of key defender Edmond Tapsoba. Insider Fabrizio Romano reports that the German club has reached an agreement with the 27-year-old player.
Details of the new contract indicate a substantial increase in Tapsoba’s salary, bringing it in line with some of the highest-paid defenders in European football. This development follows the club’s rejection of a €40 million bid from a Premier League side, underscoring their valuation of the player within their plans.
This season, Tapsoba has been instrumental for Leverkusen, making 41 appearances, scoring 5 goals, and providing 3 assists. His market value is estimated at €35 million, reflecting his significant contribution to the team.
