Leeds United are rivaling Liverpool's interest in Lens defender Loic Bade.

Bade is on the radar of several European giants this month as Lens consider cashing in.

TMW says AC Milan are turning to Bade after Strasbourg defender Mohamed Simakan suffered a knee injury.

But Milan chief Paolo Maldini will face competition for Bade's signature, including Liverpool, Leeds and Lyon.

Bade has a contract with Lens to 2023.
