Fabrizio Romano has said that Loic Bade could be allowed to leave Sevilla at the end of the season but he played down suggestions that Tottenham are expected to make a move for the centre-back.
Bade has progressed impressively since leaving Rennes to join Sevilla a little over a year ago, with the centre-back now being one of the mainstays of the La Liga club’s backline.
It was reported during the January window that Sevilla were panicking after Spurs signalled an interest in securing the 23-year-old’s services (Football 365).
However, a transfer never materialised, with the Lilywhites securing Radu Dragusin from Genoa instead during last month’s transfer window.
A few days ago, Bade opened the door to a potential switch to Tottenham by admitting that he was delighted to hear that such a big club were interested in him (Estadio Deportivo).
However, Romano has now revealed that his sources have not mentioned anything to him about Ange Postecoglou’s side moving for the Sevilla star.
The journalist said on The Daily Briefing: “Loic Bade could leave in the summer, it’s a possibility with a good proposal. Tottenham never opened talks for him in January, as far as I know; also they signed Radu Dragusin and they trust him for the future, so there’s no movement so far, that’s my understanding.”

A centre-back is no longer likely to be a priority for Tottenham, which is why it is surprising to see so many centre-halves continuing to be linked with a move to the North London side. I would not be surprised if Postecoglou decides to use Ashley Phillips as his fourth centre-back next season.
