Napoli and Newcastle have both asked for information regarding Benoît Badiashile, a 25-year-old French international centre-back for Chelsea. It is understood that he is outside of Xabi Alonso's plans and is ready to leave the club this summer. Badiashile, who has two caps for France, joined Chelsea from AS Monaco in January 2023 for a reported fee of €38 million and has a contract until 2030. In early 2026, Chelsea's asking price was reportedly around €35 million. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €15.00m.
