Badé is pretty tall at 1.91 meters which makes him really good at defending, that’s why teams want him. He’s played in big leagues like La Liga and Ligue 1 so he knows what he’s doing, which is good for Villa because they need someone who can defend well.
Loïc Badé’s Career Path
Loïc Badé started playing football in France learning at clubs like Paris FC and Le Havre AC. He first played as a pro at Le Havre then went to RC Lens where people started noticing how good he was at defending. When he moved to Stade Rennais FC in 2021 that was like a big step up for him.
In 2023 he went to Sevilla FC and he’s been doing really good in La Liga, playing lots of games. He’s really good at blocking shots and stopping other teams from scoring which is why he plays most games for Sevilla.
Future Prospects and Ambitions
Even though he hasn’t played for France’s main team yet Badé could get picked soon cause he’s been playing really well for his club. People think he’s worth about €25 million as of December 2024 which shows how good he’s gotten at football.
Villa wanting Badé shows they want to be one of the best teams. If they can get him it would make their defense a lot stronger and help them do what they want to do as a team.
