However, Roman claims Tapsoba is not the only option on United's wish list, with Jean-Clair Todibo, Antonio Silva and Jarrad Branthwaite also on their radar. Therefore, it remains to be seen who they will finally buy to reinforce their defensive line.
The journalist also says that Tottenham expressed interest in signing him last summer and they could choose to rekindle their interest in the next window. Spurs could therefore go head-to-head with Man Utd over this off-season deal.
Roman claims that Leverkusen have not decided on a specific price for Tapsoba, so it is unclear how much they could ask to let their star leave in the off-season.

“Scouts from three big clubs were present to observe Edmond Tapsoba in yesterday's match between Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund. It looks like the centre-back could be someone to watch this summer as he is attracting interest, although it is still early days in this story.
“As I previously reported, Manchester United want a centre-back this summer and are one of the clubs that have previously looked at Tapsoba. They have been looking for Tapsoba for a long time, but they also have a long list of names, as we have already mentioned, such as Jean-Clair Todibo, Antonio Silva, Gleison Bremer and Jarrad Branthwaite.
“Tottenham have also shown interest in Tapsoba in the past, but we will see if he re-enters the race. “Bayer Leverkusen has not yet decided on a specific price.”
Tapsoba: valued at around £34 million per Transfer market – has already shown his qualities in the German top flight in recent times, so could be a shrewd signing for Man Utd or Tottenham if either club eventually opts to secure his signature in the upcoming transfer window.
