Multiple media: Leverkusen signs Sevilla defender Bad, with a transfer fee of 30 million euros

Hupu, August 19th According to reports from multiple media outlets such as Marca and Team News, Sevilla and Leverkusen are finalizing the transfer of defender Bad.

The French central defender is about to be Sevilla's first big sale this summer. Leverkusen has raised the offer to the 30 million euros required by Sevilla, plus some floating terms, and the total price will rise further. According to multiple media reports, Bud's departure has entered the countdown.

The Bundesliga club has already reached an agreement with the players themselves. Bud previously rejected invitations from several Premier League teams, and Inter Milan was waiting for an opportunity, but eventually Leverkusen will sign the defender and offer him a five-year contract.

Sevilla introduced the French international by then-sports director Monci in the summer of 2023. The current sale will bring back funds to the club, allowing current sports director Antonio Corton to advance registration and signing work, and also meet the needs of head coach Mattias Almeida.

According to France, Bad will set off for Germany this week to sign a new contract. His contract with Sevilla did not expire until 2029. After joining Leverkusen, he will get the chance to compete in the Champions League and accumulate more playing time for next year's World Cup. The deal will also be Sevilla's first large transfer since Corton took office.

Bad's departure will precede Juanlu Sanchez, the defender has been chased by Naples since the early part of the summer but has not completed the transfer so far. The potential departure of the two will force Sevilla to strengthen the defense - this defense line has exposed obvious problems in the first round of La Liga away game against Athletic Bilbao.
