Club statement:
Bayer 04 Leverkusen has signed the French central defender Loïc Badé.
The international player is moving from the Spanish top air club FC Sevilla to the Werksklub. Badé signed a contract in Leverkusen valid until 30 June 2030. The 25-year-old is wearing the number 5 in the team of head coach Erik ten Hag.
With Laïc Badé we have drawn a young, but very experienced central defender for Bayer 04. He is used to being confronted with absolute world -class strikers in Laliga in Spain, “explains sports director Simon Rolfes.” Rooc is physically compromising and intelligent in his game, an absolute reinforcement of our defensive line. With this overall defensive line -up we are competitive at the highest level.
Badé made his first performance for the Équipe Tricolore in June during the last tournament of the UEFA Nations League in Germany, which came to the DFB team in 2: 0 third place. For Seville he played a total of 79 games in the best Spanish competition. He had previously played 46 games for Stade Rennes in Ligue 1 in France.
The Bundesliga and German football really appeal to me. Bayer Leverkusen has received a lot of attention abroad in recent years, “emphasizes the 1.91 meter long right -wing.” I have seen a lot on TV, especially the international games. The stadium and fans of Leverkusen were great. It will be very nice to compete for titles with Bayer 04 in this area.
