Loïc Badé continues to be linked as a defensive target for Roma in the final weeks of the transfer window.

The French centreback is included in the capital club’s shortlist for the summer following Marash Kumbulla’s move to Espanyol.

Badé is said to be among the candidates to replace Kumbulla at Roma.

However, the Giallorossi are not the only ones interested in the Olympic silver medalist.

In fact, Stuttgart are the club to have formulated the first offer for Badé.

However, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise, Chiringuito TV claims Sevilla have rejected Stuttgart’s proposal as they deemed it to be unsatisfactory.

Moreover, the player does not appear convinced of moving to Germany.

Roma, in the meantime, remain at the window but will first have to complete more sales to generate necessary funds.
