Chelsea willing to sell 23-year-old to SPL club despite signing him just last year for £35m

Chelsea could allow Benoit Badiashile to leave in the summer

According to Simon Phillips, Chelsea are open to hearing offers for Benoit Badiashile in the summer transfer window. AC Milan, AS Roma and Saudi sides are interested in signing the Frenchman. Badiashile joined Chelsea in a £35m move from AS Monaco.

Since joining Chelsea, the 23-year-old has not put up a convincing performance and has appeared to be taking his time to settle down in the league. Badiashile joined the Blues last season, but his time so far has been blighted by injuries.

The Frenchman has suffered plenty of injuries, which have kept him out for a long time and hindered his growth at the club. Despite returning from injury last season, the 23-year-old wasn’t at his best and demonstrated a poor performance.

It could be due to injuries that halted his development, and he couldn’t participate in enough matches in his first Chelsea season. But during his last campaign, he showed that he could be a reliable centre-back, but he would need trust and patience from the board and fans.

We are not giving enough trust to our young players to grow. Badiashile has all the makings to become a top defender, and next season he will have to start strong as he will be competing with Levi Colwill for the starting spot.

But now it is doubtful if the club will continue with him next season, nevertheless, Enzo Maresca will have his input on the defender’s future. If the head coach feels he can continue at the club, then Badiashile will have to start strong next season and convince the fans and board why he should continue at the club.
