La Liga
Inter Milan is the latest team to join the race for the signing of Loïc Badé, the French center-back from Sevilla, who has become a clear target for Cristian Chivu's team following Benjamin Pavard's imminent departure.
The current Champions League runner-up wants to sell the French center-back in order to go all out for Loïc Badé, whom they see as a very interesting bet to rejuvenate their squad. However, they will only pursue his signing if they manage to finalize Pavard's sale, as reported by Marca.
Loïc Badé, Sevilla's Most Valuable Player
At Sevilla, Loïc Badé is currently the player with the highest market value. The French center-back has attracted interest from several European clubs, including Bayer Leverkusen, who have already submitted a fixed offer of 25 million euros plus variables.
However, the Seville team demands 30 million to let him go, a figure that neither the German team nor other suitors like Borussia Dortmund have reached so far.

Inter's Plan to Revamp the Defense
Cristian Chivu's project at Inter aims to rejuvenate the squad, especially the defensive line. At the top of Sporting Director Piero Ausilio's priorities are two 25-year-old French central defenders: Oumar Solet from Udinese and Loïc Badé.
However, any deal for either of them is contingent on Pavard's sale, who could leave this summer if a suitable offer comes in.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, both Giuseppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio have requested Loïc Badé's camp to delay the final decision to allow the club more time to close sales. The player would be willing to wait, as his preference is to wear the nerazzurra shirt.

This stance could hasten Bayer Leverkusen's reaction, as they fear being left with no options and would be willing to pressure Sevilla to close the deal as soon as possible.
Sevilla's Sporting Director, Antonio Cordón, recently stated, "there is focus on certain names, but there will also be surprises in this market." With a contract until 2029 and multiple offers from Italy, England, and Germany, everything indicates that Badé will be the big sale of the summer for the Andalusian club.
The French defender, a Europa League champion with Sevilla in 2023, has established himself as a solid, fast, and good ball-playing center-back, qualities highly valued in Serie A.
Loïc Badé's future is increasingly distant from the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, with Inter Milan now the leading candidate to secure his signing this season.
