The future of Bafodé Diakité at LOSC after the end of the summer mercato remains uncertain. Even his coach, Bruno Genesio, does not seem to have a clear answer to this question. The interest of Bournemouth, an English club, for the player is notable, but the latter could finally turn to Loïc Badé, a defender of FC Seville, after abandoning his efforts to recruit Diakité. Lille firmly maintains its position, requiring a minimum of 40 million euros for its player, despite an initial offer of 30 million euros rejected by the English club. This inflexibility on the part of Olivier Létang, president of the LOSC, seems to compromise the negotiations.

In the face of this situation, Bournemouth showed growing interest in Loïc Badé, a French international operating in Liga with FC Seville. The English club is seduced by the physical qualities, regularity and precise revival of the defender. Seville, for its part, would be willing to negotiate and would hope to obtain a transfer compensation of about 30 million euros, significantly less than the 40 million euros claimed by Lille. This difference in valuation could make the operation more attractive to Bournemouth.

The question remains whether Bournemouth’s interest in Loïc Badé is merely a rumor orchestrated by the player’s agent to put pressure on Lille, or whether it is a real desire to recruit the defender. Moreover, it is important to consider Bafodé Diakité’s potential reaction to this possible turn of events, as he aspires to evolve into a Premier League. The outcome of this situation will therefore depend on Bournemouth’s ability to convince Seville and Diakité’s willingness to stay or leave for another championship.
