Aston Villa sporting director Monchi is reportedly keen on bringing Loic Bade to the Premier League from La Liga club Sevilla.
As per a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Aston Villa sporting director Monchi is plotting a raid on his former club Sevilla for Loic Bade, who is valued at around €35-40 million.
Aston Villa could certainly use defensive reinforcements, and Bade would be a quality acquisition. The Frenchman has done well for Sevilla, and he has the physical and technical attributes to do well in English football as well. It will be interesting to see if Villa can secure an agreement with the Spanish outfit.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for the defender. He has been linked with other English top-flight clubs in recent months as well. He will want to join a competitive outfit capable of pushing for trophies and Aston Villa certainly have an exciting project right now.
The Villans are competing in the UEFA Champions League this season, and they will be hoping to secure European football for the next season as well. Aston Villa have a quality manager like Unai Emery at their disposal as well, and that could prove to be vital when it comes to attracting quality players.
Meanwhile, the reported €35-40 million asking price seems reasonable for Loic Bade, and he has the ability to justify the investment in the coming seasons. Aston Villa have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line as well, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.

The Olympics 2024 silver medallist will look to prove himself in the Premier League if the transfer goes through.
