Manchester United are reportedly monitoring the Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba with regards to a potential transfer in the summer.
The Red Devils are in need of defensive improvements and Tapsoba could be a valuable addition. The 25-year-old has been a crucial player for the German club and was previously a target for Manchester United, according to Manchester Evening News.
Should a concrete proposal be presented, it is likely that the Burkina Faso international would be enticed to make the move to the Premier League. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will act on their interest and submit an official proposal.
In order to contend for major titles next season, the Red Devils must address the weaknesses in their squad. Their defensive vulnerabilities have been evident this season, conceding 33 goals in 24 league matches. To compete at the highest level, it is imperative that they prioritize the signing of a quality central defender.
With recent speculation surrounding Harry Maguire’s potential departure from the club, Manchester United will need to secure a top-notch replacement. Tapsoba has already proven himself in the Bundesliga and could provide a reliable option at the back for the Red Devils.
At the conclusion of the season, it will be intriguing to see if Manchester United can negotiate a reasonable transfer fee with the German club for the 25-year-old central defender.
