Aston Villa submit Loïc Badé offer as Diego Carlos exit looms | OneFootball

According to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Aston Villa have submitted an offer to Sevilla centre-back Loïc Badé (24) with Diego Carlos nearing an exit from the Premier League side.

RMC Sport understands that Diego Carlos is nearing a move to Turkish side Fenerbahçe. His impending departure from Villa Park will prompt Aston Villa to bring in a replacement with Badé identified as the priority target. Hawkins even understands that an offer has already been submitted to the French defender, who despite being called up by Didier Deschamps late in 2024, is yet to make his debut for Les Bleus’ senior side.

Aston Villa are therefore pushing hard to sign the centre-back, who secured a silver medal with the France side during the Olympics last summer. However, as well as agreeing terms with the player himself, an agreement must also be found with Sevilla. Badé is valued at €25m on the site Transfermarkt.
