Edmond Tapsoba continues to attract the attention of Europe's elite clubs. The summer transfer window looks promising for the Burkina Faso international, with new teams entering the fray for his signature.

The competition for Edmond Tapsoba is set to be fierce, as he remains under contract with Leverkusen until 2028. According to information from Africa Foot, three major European clubs have made the 27-year-old defender a top priority: Atlético Madrid, Tottenham, and Inter Milan.

As for the latter club, they have been long-time admirers. The same source notes that the Nerazzurri have been pursuing the former Vitória Guimarães player for two years, but Leverkusen's financial demands have so far prevented a deal. Recently, journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that the German club are asking for no less than €40 million to part ways with their defensive stalwart.

These clubs now join the likes of Napoli and Newcastle, who also showed interest some months ago. As for Edmond Tapsoba himself, he continues his outstanding season, having scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists in 17 Bundesliga appearances.
