Following the many reports regarding Loic Bade’s potential early exit from Nottingham Forest, we now get to know a candidate to land the defender in January.
According to Spanish outlet El Chiringuito, Sevilla are interested in signing the 22-year-old.
It’s claimed that the La Liga side are already ‘in talks’ with Rennes to cut short Bade’s loan spell at Nottingham Forest and get him moved in the winter window.
The information brought by journalist Gonzalo Tortosa is that it’s Sevilla director Monchi who’s in charge of the operation.

Nottingham Forest got Bade signed last summer, but the defender has not been able to make a single appearance for the Reds so far.
It turns out that the player had featured in a game for Rennes before making the move, and it meant that in case he played for the City Ground side, he wouldn’t be able to change clubs one more time this season.
That may be one of the reasons why Nottingham Forest hasn’t given him a chance lately, as his departure from the club has looked like a certainty for a while, at least for the French media.
