When asked by Bild if Tapsoba will be sold this summer, Leverkusen sporting managing director Simon Rolfes replied:
"No, not under normal circumstances."
"'Eddy' still has a long contract, so there is no reason for us to think about it. It's not an issue.
"Given his quality, I would be surprised if there was no interest. There are always limits somewhere. But Eddy is a very important player, without a doubt one of the top players in our team."
The 24-year-old centre-back is tied to Leverkusen until 2026 and has mainly been linked with Tottenham recently.
When asked about reports linking him with a move to England, Tapsoba exclusively told Bulinews.com earlier this year:
"That makes me happy, of course. It’s something that shows I’m doing a good job and that I just need to continue. But Leverkusen is a big club, my head and heart are fully here right now, and then we'll see what the next step will be."
