As transfer suitors surface ahead of the summer, Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile is now deemed “very likely” to be out of the Blues’ project. Even though AC Milan has shown some interest in Badiashile, teams have not contacted him yet, as was initially reported here for the Daily Briefing.
As Badiashile is expected to be made available for about €35 million this summer, I’ve also been informed that Juventus and Marseille may be two teams to keep an eye on in the competition for his services.
Chelsea will ideally try to sell Badiashile permanently rather than loan him out since they view him as out of their plans. According to an industry source I spoke with this morning, “Badiashile is most likely no longer involved in the Chelsea project. ” We may anticipate that AC Milan and others will increase their efforts in the next months, even though they haven’t shown much interest yet.
“I wouldn’t say Chelsea is evicting Badiashile, but they are definitely open to bids and would rather sell permanently than take him out on loan. His asking price is likely to be about €35 million.
€35m price tag set and Chelsea open to offers for 24 year old
It seems as though a few players are being lined up for sale, with Axel Disasi clearly at the top of the list. However, according to CaughtOffside’s exclusive story this morning, Benoit Badiashile may follow him. Mark Brus of CaughtOffside, the transfer manager, was informed by a source that “Badiashile is very likely out of the Chelsea project now”.

His asking price is likely to be about €35 million.
Potential destinations include Juventus and Marseille, with Badiashile possibly costing up to €35 million. In terms of form and fitness, Badiashile hasn’t got the consistency required, while having some rather evident potential. Trevoh Chalobah is undoubtedly ahead of him in the hierarchy, and Sarr may overtake him as well. That indicates that the moment is ideal to sell, and the club will.
