Scout report

Key starterCentral defender

L. Badé is a 26-year-old central defender at Bayer Leverkusen, rated 69.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 128th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (70.9% 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 33 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 4 clean sheets and 3.96 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 36 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 70, top 24% of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 26 Badé is in his prime years, and a market index of 41.8 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.

Clean sheets

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 70.9% 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 69.9, Badé carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga (top 24%). 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.
