Liverpool reportedly eyeing £50m defender as club faces potential sale

According to reports, Liverpool are showing interest in Sevilla defender Loic Bade, who has a £50 million release clause in his contract. The Spanish club may be forced to sell the highly-rated center back due to financial difficulties.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has led the team to impressive results this season, with just one Premier League loss in 19 matches. However, the Reds are facing contract issues with key players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, whose deals expire soon.

Spanish outlet AS claims Liverpool are considering a move for Bade, with Sevilla potentially needing to cash in on the 24-year-old French defender. His relatively low £50m release clause could make him an attractive option to bolster Liverpool’s backline.

With recent injuries to Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez, adding another quality center back would provide valuable depth as Liverpool compete for Premier League and Champions League titles. Bade is regarded as an “elite talent” and appears ready to take the next step in his career.

While Liverpool have focused on retaining current stars, signing a promising defender like Bade could help push the team over the line in their pursuit of trophies this season. The Reds may look to capitalize on Sevilla’s financial situation and trigger the release clause for a player entering his prime years.
