Scout report
L. Badé is a 26-year-old central defender at Bayer Leverkusen, rated 69.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 146th of 323 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (68.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.96 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Badé.
Judged on this season alone, Badé graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 4 clean sheets and 3.96 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 69, top 39% of the 54 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 26 Badé is in his prime years, and a market index of 41.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Badé missed 8 games through injury (muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 23 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Bayer Leverkusen finished 6th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 68.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.3/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 69.3, Badé carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga (top 39%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
