The Bayer Leverkusen central defender was seen with Deco
The new sports director of Barça represented him, but he will stop doing so
Edmond Tapsoba, Bayer Leverkusen center back and player followed by many teams, was in the Barça sports complex. The website ‘socblaugranafc’ has obtained the images in which the footballer is seen visiting the blaugrana facilities, accompanied by the club’s new sports director, Deco. Tapsoba is not on the Blaugrana club’s transfer list and his visit is more related to the end of Deco’s representation, which will close his agency in the coming days. Tapsoba already belongs to a new agency.
Tapsoba was on the Barça table last year when Deco offered it. The Blaugrana club valued him, but his contract was rejected to clearly bet on Koundé, who ended up signing for 55 million euros. The Blaugrana coaches have never seen a profile for him to play at the Camp Nou despite the fact that his physique is very important. Several Premier teams are on the lookout but their price is around 40 million euros.
Deco acted as guide at the Tapsoba hearing since they have been in a relationship for several years. Now the center-back is going to continue on his way with another representation agency that also has a close relationship with the Blaugrana club, but has not offered. The quota of centrals in the first team is more than covered.
