Inter Milan will reportedly lose out on the battle for the signature of Loic Bade, who is close to joining Bayer Leverkusen.
According to RMC Sports via FCInterNews, the German heavyweights have agreed terms with Sevilla.
Therefore, Loic Bade could soon be on his way to the BayArena to pen a multi-year contract.
Indeed, the parties are negotiating a five-year deal, with the Frenchman set to depart Spain after two years.
Meanwhile, Inter must turn to other targets.
Bayer Leverkusen Set to Sign Inter Milan Target Loic Bade
Despite Inter’s interest, the 25-year-old is one step away from linking up with Erik ten Hag’s side.
Indeed, Los Rojiblancos have accepted Leverkusen’s €30 million offer, including bonuses.
Furthermore, the player seems enthusiastic about swapping a downtrodden Sevilla for Die Werkself.
With Bade heading to the Bundesliga, Inter will explore other options in the market.
Oumar Solet could be an exciting alternative, though Udinese’s asking price remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, Cristian Chivu’s men have taken an interest in three Premier League defenders.
Jakub Kiwior, Trevoh Chalobah, and Renato Veiga have popped up on Inter’s radar.
We may need to promote a center back from u23 at this point. One of the main reasons Chivu was chose was due to his track records of utilizing young players.
Problem is we don’t have currently good enough young cb. We have 2 cm and lb from U23 team who can play occasionally.
Pathetic management, haven’t done shit for month and a half.
