AC Horsens signal willingness to sell rising Ivorian defender Christ Tapé amid European interest

Christ Tapé’s future at AC Horsens appears increasingly uncertain, as the Danish club confirms it is open to offers for the highly rated Ivorian defender.

The 19-year-old has attracted significant attention from major European sides following an impressive debut season in the Danish second tier.

Tapé, who joined Horsens from Ivory Coast just a year ago, has wasted no time in cementing his place in the first team.

His 27 appearances at left-back in the 2024–25 season showcased his athleticism, composure, and tactical intelligence—qualities that have drawn the eyes of scouts from across the continent.

According to Nene, head of African player recruitment at AC Horsens, the club has been fielding offers from several European teams.

He’s a very interesting player we recruited from Ivory Coast a year ago, and he’s also capable of playing in central defense.

His athleticism is what sets him apart. Nene siad. We’ve been approached by clubs about him since his debut, and it looks like we’ll be selling him now, as some very attractive offers are on the table.

Among the clubs reportedly monitoring Tapé are Ligue 1’s RC Lens, Serie A sides Torino and Udinese, and Spanish giants FC Barcelona.

With his contract at Horsens running until June 2028, the club is in a strong position to negotiate, especially given Transfermarkt’s latest valuation of the player at €400,000—a figure that could quickly rise if a bidding war ensues.

Tapé’s swift adaptation to European football and his consistent performances suggest he is ready for a bigger stage.

He’s definitely capable of excelling in the top leagues; in addition to his obvious talent, he’s a quick learner and has a great personality, Nene added.

The club’s openness to selling their prized asset marks a pivotal moment in Tapé’s career.

With several high-profile teams circling, the Ivorian’s next destination could be a significant step up, offering him both development and exposure at the top level.

For now, all eyes will be on how negotiations unfold in the coming weeks.

Should a deal be finalised, it would be another testament to Horsens’ growing reputation as a stepping stone for African talent looking to break into Europe’s elite football circles.
