Aston Villa pushing to land €60m defensive target with 86% pass success rateAston Villa seeks Sevilla’s Loic Bade as a defensive replacement for Diego Carlos. Despite tracking Bade before Carlos’ sale, Villa’s €21m offer falls short of Sevilla’s €60m release clause. Bade’s desire to join Villa could influence negotiations, but Monchi and Emery must increase their financial offer to secure the player. Villa faces a busy transfer window with Buendia’s departure and Chelsea’s interest in Duran.
