Juventus considering bid for Benoit Badiashile
Juventus are eyeing a potential move for Chelsea centre-back Benoit Badiashile to bolster their defence, according to Calciomercato.it. The Italian giants see the Frenchman as a key addition to their backline amidst uncertainties surrounding Gleison Bremer’s future. Chelsea have set Badiashile’s price tag at approximately €35 million.
Badiashile, who rose through the ranks at AS Monaco, joined Chelsea in January 2023 but has faced challenges, including injuries, limiting him to just 22 appearances last season. Despite his long-term contract until 2030, his future at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain under new manager Enzo Maresca.
Juventus had previously shown interest in Badiashile during his Monaco days and are now looking to capitalise on his situation at Chelsea. However, their financial constraints might complicate the deal. As the transfer window progresses, Badiashile’s future will hinge on Maresca’s plans and Juventus’ ability to meet Chelsea’s valuation.
