Sevilla star closing on €25m+ Bayer Leverkusen move
A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga outfit Sevilla is closing on a move to Germany, with Bayer Leverkusen. That's according to market insider Fabrizio Romano, who points towards Loïc Badé as the player in question. Stopper Badé was for his part first linked with a move to the BayArena earlier this summer. Amid a search for a replacement for the outbound Jonathan Tah, the Frenchman was quickly labelled as a leading target on the part of the Leverkusen brass. The links between the parties had since gone somewhat quiet, giving rise to suggestions that Erik ten Hag and co. had turned attentions elsewhere. But as alluded to above, if the latest word stemming from the media on Sunday is anything to go by, then Badé's Bayer Leverkusen switch appears to be very much back on the cards. As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano: 'Bayer Leverkusen advance in talks with Sevilla to sign Loïc Badé, he's the top target for Erik ten Hag. Discussions on fee over €25m proceed well.'

Bayer Leverkusen finalize terms of Ernest Poku transfer, enter into negotiations for Loïc Badé
Kicker and all other major German footballing media sources report that Bayer Leverkusen have wrapped up negotiations for the transfer of AZ Alkmaar winger Ernest Poku. The 21-year-old is due in Leverkusen for a medical ahead of a €10m move to the Bundesliga. All German sources claim that Poku will sign a four-year-contract with Germany's red company team. In other Leverkusen-related personnel news, Sport Bild reports that Leverkusen stepped up their efforts to acquire Sevilla centre-back Loïc Badé. Negotiations are underway with a transfer fee in the €20m to €25m range being discussed. The German tabloid does note that the Bundesliga club faces stiff competition from AFC Bournemouth, who are prepared to pay €30m for the French international. Leverkusen continue to scramble to increase their undermanned squad ahead of the forthcoming Bundesliga campaign. The recent confirmation of longtime keeper and captain Lukas Hradecky's move to AS Monaco now leaves head coach Erik ten Hag with only 23 professionals with which to work. Hradecky's loss is at the very least expected to be rectified shortly by the signing of German keeper Janis Blaswich away from RB Leipzig. Blaswich will serve as the back-up to new club No. 1 Mark Flekken. GGFN |
