Chelsea are preferring Axel Disasi and Thiago Silva for starts at centre-back. Mauricio Pochettino has switched to a four-man backline. Les Gones was heavily linked with the France Under-21 international.
As per football.london, the Ligue 1 club are not looking to sign Badiashile next month. The 22-year-old will stay at Chelsea. His contract will expire at Chelsea until the summer of 2030.
Badiashile has made 16 appearances for Chelsea in the past 12 months. He has two goals and one assist in that time. He scored on his first appearance of the season against Blackburn Rovers in the EFL Cup.
The 22-year-old has since completed the full 90 minutes in Premier League meetings with Brighton, Newcastle United, Everton and Sheffield United.
