Napoli nearing move for Benoit Badiashile

Napoli are reportedly on the verge of signing Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile, according to Corriere dello Sport. The French left-back, who has been struggling for regular first-team action at Stamford Bridge since joining from Monaco in 2020, is seen as a potential replacement for Alessandro Buongiorno, who recently had knee surgery.

Napoli boss Max Allegri is keen on the 27-year-old, who has four years left on his contract at Chelsea. However, the English club's stance is that of a potential sale, with Badiashile valued at around €15 million by Transfermarkt. Napoli have reportedly indicated they would be willing to make a loan offer with an option to purchase.

Given the situation, Napoli may have to be firm in their demands, as Chelsea are unlikely to grant a permanent deal without significant compensation.
