Borussia Dortmund has shown interest in Loïc Badé due to a shortage of defenders. This interest arises as Bayer Leverkusen, who were close to signing Badé as a replacement for their defense leader Jonathan Tah, now faces competition from Dortmund. According to reports from 'Sky.ch', Badé has paused his move to Leverkusen because he prefers a transfer to Inter Mailand, although this depends on Inter selling another defender. It is reported that the French national player favors Inter Mailand over other clubs, including Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, but it remains unclear whether Dortmund is ranked higher than Leverkusen in his considerations. Furthermore, Sevilla is expected to receive 30 million euros plus five million in bonuses for Badé, who is under contract until 2029, leaving the situation unresolved for now.
