Badé shines in Leverkusen: This is how the new defensive star leads the team!
On September 15, 2025, the football evening for Bayer Leverkusen was a complete success. The “Werkself” celebrated a convincing 3-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt and thus continued to assert themselves in the top half of the Bundesliga table. The focus was particularly on new arrivals Loic Bade, who played the full 90 minutes for the first time this season.
Badé, who moved from Sevilla FC to Leverkusen in August 2023, has shown impressive development since then. He replaces Jonathan Tah, who moved to FC Bayern Munich. The 25-year-old central defender proves himself both defensively and as a leader on the field. With his strong duels and a game share of 64 percent of duels won, he contributes significantly to the stability in defense. This is also highlighted by sports director Simon Rolfes, who emphasizes the need for an experienced player for the defense.
An all-rounder in defense
Loïc Badé, born on April 11, 2000 in Sèvres, not only has football expertise, but also language skills that make him valuable in the team. He speaks fluent French, English and Spanish, which makes it easier to communicate with his teammates and ensures a harmonious team dynamic. Badé has quickly established himself as a decisive figure and organizes the defense brilliantly.
His history as a player is equally remarkable. Badé began his career in the youth team of Paris FC and later moved to Le Havre, where he played his first professional game. After stints at Lens and Rennes, where he made a name for himself in the UEFA Europa League, he finally ended up at Sevilla, where he won the title with his team before moving to Leverkusen.
The look into the future
Off the pitch, Badé has clear goals: He would like to recommend himself for the French national team and is aiming to take part in the 2026 World Cup. In return, he turned down a lucrative offer from Bournemouth to show himself to Leverkusen in the Champions League. His goal is to keep his performances consistent and continue to advance his development as a player.
But it's not just Badé who brings a breath of fresh air to Bayer Leverkusen's defense. Modern game analysis has also arrived, which is being revolutionized not least by technical innovations on the field. This is evident, for example, in the precise recording of player movements and their interactions, as in the Sports medicine is discussed. Such advances in data analysis could not only improve game performance, but also permanently change the demands placed on players and coaches.
Overall, it can be said: With Loïc Badé, Bayer Leverkusen has signed a valuable player who enriches both personally and athletically and whose development should be followed with excitement in the coming years.
