Bayer Leverkusen have reached a €30m agreement with Sevilla for Loic Bade, who has become a sought-after defender after 60 appearances and winning the Europa League. Personal terms are pending, though Bade is eager to join the Bundesliga side. Signed permanently by Sevilla in January 2023, Bade’s performances earned him a France call-up under Didier Deschamps. Leverkusen’s project and European ambitions convinced him, while Bournemouth and Inter also monitored his progress. Negotiations on contract details are expected to be straightforward.
