“Of course, Diego Carlos left last week and we have to replace him, and of course we are also focusing on which players could be potential players to replace Diego Carlos.”
With Emery confirming Villa are in the market to sign a replacement for Carlos, links understandably still surround a potential move for the Sevilla defender Loic Bade.
Throughout this transfer window, NSWE have offered a move for the Frenchman, who won a silver medal at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, but the potential deal is far from straightforward.
Villa even threatened to walk away in negotiations for Badeaccording to some reports, while others believe that Emery’s side rejected an offer from Sevilla for highly-rated 21-year-old midfielder Lamar Bogard during discussions (Pete O’Rourke).
Bade, who stands out as a mainstay in Sevilla’s starting eleven, would be the perfect replacement for Carlos – considering he is currently among the top six players in La Liga, according to WhoScored – averaged 4.1 clearances per 90 and their second highest average tackle rate.
The media also described the 6ft 3 defender as a “quality” centre-back, underlining why Emery and company have targeted him to strengthen Villa’s backline.
Now, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke, Villa are not giving up their efforts to secure his signature.
Aston Villa are ready to make a new bid for Loic Badet
The journalist writes about it for Football Insider Villa are set to submit a new bid for Badehaving been given the green light by Emery to proceed with a deal for the former Ligue 1 star.
They are expected to come back with another offer after seeing their first offer rejected, writes O’Rourke, with Sevilla open to a sale given their precarious financial situation.
Following those January talks for the 24-year-old, other reports claim Bade could cost around 25 million poundsbut Villa won’t want to overpay the odds given how cautious they are now with PSR too.
