Negotiations between Aston Villa and Sevilla for the transfer of Loïc Badé have reached an impasse. The proposed deal, which included a €23 million offer with an additional €3 million in potential add-ons, has not progressed, and the player has yet to accept the terms.
Background on Loïc Badé
Loïc Badé, a central defender, is currently under contract with Sevilla, having extended his agreement with the club until 2029. The 24-year-old Frenchman is known for his strong defensive capabilities and aerial prowess. Prior to his time at Sevilla, Badé played for clubs such as RC Lens and Stade Rennais, where he developed a reputation for his solid performances at the back.
Aston Villa’s Interest
Aston Villa’s interest in Badé emerged following the departure of their defender Diego Carlos. The club has been actively seeking to bolster their defensive line, and Badé was identified as a potential target. However, the current standstill in negotiations suggests that the transfer may not materialise as initially hoped.
Current Situation
As it stands, the transfer talks are in a state of suspension, with no further developments reported. Both clubs and the player remain in a holding pattern, awaiting any potential changes that could reignite discussions.
