Chelsea: Naples pushes for Benoît Badiashile

Benoît Badiashile officially leaves Chelsea to join Italy. The 25-year-old French central defender, selected twice for the Blues, signed with Naples in the form of a one-season loan. Arriving in London in January 2023 from Monaco, he did not fit into Xabi Alonso’s plans this season and he will try to find his best level in Campania.

To formalize this provisional departure, the Blues published a press release on their website: “Chelsea central defender Benoit Badiashile has agreed a season-long loan deal to Serie A side Napoli. The 25-year-old, capped twice by France, was signed in January 2023 from Monaco and has made 71 appearances in all competitions for the Blues. We look forward to supporting the defender during his time in Naples. Good luck, Benoit!»
