Man Utd plans to make a double move on Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen with talks already held.
Erik ten Hag is reportedly interested in recruiting players from Bayer Leverkusen. The two players in question are Jeremie Frimpong and Edmond Tapsoba. Both players have been linked with a move to Manchester United, with reports indicating that ten Hag is looking to strengthen his defensive options for the upcoming season. Under the management of Xabi Alonso, Frimpong and Tapsoba have played crucial roles for Leverkusen.
The team’s strong performance, including a recent win over Bayern Munich, has attracted attention from potential suitors. Ten Hag is said to be keen on adding a center-back and a right-back to his squad, aiming to bolster the defensive lineup for the next season. While United reportedly held discussions for Frimpong last year, the potential deal did not materialize, and the player remained in Germany. With the contract of Aaron Wan-Bissaka set to expire in 2025 and potential plans for a sale, United are considering options for a new right-back.
Tapsoba, on the other hand, signed a long-term contract with Leverkusen last summer, making him a potentially more expensive target for interested clubs in 2024. According to reports, Bayer Leverkusen values Tapsoba highly, possibly exceeding the previously reported transfer fee. It remains uncertain if Manchester United will reignite their interest in him. As the season progresses, decisions regarding 2024 will unfold.
