Chelsea have identified their next transfer priority – Loic Bade – as reported by Fichajes. The Londoners are ready to spend 30 million euros to sign the Sevilla defender and strengthen their defense for next season.
The 24-year-old's performances in La Liga have attracted the attention of several European clubs, but it is Chelsea who appear most determined to make the final move to sign him.
Sevilla, which has secured Bade with a €60 million release clause and a contract until 2029, are in a strong negotiating position. However, the club's financial difficulties could force the board to consider a tempting offer.
Aston Villa already tried to sign the defender in the winter transfer window, but Sevilla held on to him. Now, in addition to the Villans, Liverpool are also interested in Bade, so Chelsea will not have an easy route to a transfer.
It should be added that this season Bade has 1 goal and 1 assist in 24 matches for Sevilla in all competitions.
