The Midlands giants will move forward and make a second approach for Sevilla defender Bade during current window, according to a report published by Football Insider on Friday, January 24.
After selling Diego Carlos to Fenerbahce, Emery’s team is eager to add more center backs before the deadline of February 3.

Throughout his development, Bogarde has frequently played in both defensive and central midfield, in addition to center back.
In August 2024, he signed a new contract deal with Villa Park.
