Bayer Leverkusen have set their sights on 25-year-old Franco-Ivorian defender Loïc Badé.
According to journalist Loïc Tanzi, the German club has opened talks with Sevilla FC to assess the situation of Loïc Badé. Still under contract with the Andalusian side until 2029, Badé is valued at €25 million on Transfermarkt. He's coming off a solid season, making 33 appearances, scoring 1 goal, providing 1 assist, collecting 8 yellow cards and 1 red, with a total of 2,777 minutes played.

Ethan Nwaneri commits to Arsenal with new five-year deal
Arsenal attacking midfielder Ethan Nwaneri has signed a new five-year contract which runs until 2030. The 18-year-old scored nine goals in 37 appearances last term during his breakthrough season with the Gunners. He then helped England Under-21s retain the European Championship title. 'It means everything to me, I'm so happy to have got it done,' Nwaneri told Arsenal's website. 'This is where I feel at home and where I'm going to develop the best. 'I'm very excited. I see this as my first real season and part of a proper squad in the changing room. I'm so excited for what I can bring to the team and how I can help the team.' Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history in September 2022 when he came off the bench in Arsenal's 3-0 victory at Brentford at the age of 15 years and 181 days. He made another cameo appearance – in a 6-0 victory at West Ham – the following season before becoming a first-team regular last term. The academy graduate registered his first professional goals by bagging a brace in the Gunners' 5-1 Carabao Cup success against Bolton last September. He started 11 of his 26 top-flight appearances across the 2024-25 campaign, scoring four times, in addition to registering two goals in seven Champions League outings. Arsenal begin the new Premier League season on Sunday, August 17 away to Manchester United.

Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Jorrel Hato, and Estevao Willian are in the fold, and the Blues continue to be linked with further additions. That list may grow as Levi Colwill has now suffered a long-term injury. This match is AC Milan's last friendly prior to the Coppa Italia first round against Bari at the San Siro on August 18. Max Allegri's men are 3-0 this preseason, beating Arsenal on penalties before taking care of Liverpool and Perth Glory over 90 minutes.
