Only one year after having put down his suitcases in Lens from Le Havre, Loïc Badé has conquered everyone. In Artois, of course, but also everywhere else since many clubs have expressed their interest in the 21-year-old central defender to the leaders blood and gold. OM, OL, Stade Rennais, Atletico Madrid… The list goes on.
€ 28 million to exercise the Tomori purchase option
Moreover, the list of courtiers began to be written last January. AC Milan had indeed, at the time, applied for Badé. Launched in the race for the Scudetto, the Rossoneri wanted to prepare for the future by acquiring a young central defender immediately operational. Or the robot portrait of the former Le Havre.
But since then, the plans have changed. Already, Milan are more likely to seek a versatile young midfielder capable of taking it down a notch. Hence the tracks Wesley Fofana (AS Monaco), Boubacar Kamara (OM) and Mahdi Camara (ASSE). But above all, they have just exercised the option to buy they had from Chelsea for Fikayo Tomori. They paid the Blues € 28m and offered the player a five-year contract. No question for them, therefore, to put back to the pot to acquire a liner like Badé, as talented as she is …
Best wishes for the future, @FikayoTomori_! ????

AC Milan no longer follows Loïc Badé
Interested in the central defender of RC Lens since last January, AC Milan decided to definitively recruit Fikayo Tomori, who was only on loan from Chelsea. The Rossoneri therefore abandon the track of the 21-year-old.
