reporter Falk reported that Newcastle is interested in Leverkusen's central defender Tapsoba, but the former will not pay the players' termination fee of up to 100 million euros.
Falke revealed to CaughtOffside: "Newcastle has not submitted a offer for Tapsoba. Just like Juventus for Zachar, they have expressed interest in the defender.
However, the problem facing Newcastle and any other clubs interested in the player is that the termination fee in the central defender's contract is as high as 100 million euros. This is a big fee, and I don't think Newcastle is ready to pay.
More importantly, if Leverkusen sticks to the plan they discussed internally, they will not sell Tapsoba at a lower price. So I think the players will stay in Leverkusen, but let's see what conditions Newcastle is preparing to offer."
26-year-old Tapsoba is currently in contract until June 2028, with the player 2 assists in 43 games in 24-25, and Germany turns to 35 million euros.
