According to a report by Caught Offside, AC Milan and Juventus are interested in Benoit Badiashile. The two Serie A clubs are keen on bolstering their defensive units by signing a centre-back in the summer transfer window. So, the 24-year-old Chelsea defender has emerged as a target for the Italian outfits.
The latest report has boosted the prospects of AC Milan and Juventus, as the Blues are “very likely” to cash in on the Frenchman in the summer transfer window. Chelsea will demand around €35 million to part ways with Badiashile, with Marseille also keen on signing him in the coming months.
How has Benoit Badiashile fared at Chelsea?
Benoit Badiashile has been a victim of Chelsea’s infamous hoarding policy since arriving from AS Monaco in January 2023. The 24-year-old was among the most promising young centre-backs in the world when he joined the West London club. However, while the player has shown flashes of brilliance at Chelsea, regular game time has eluded him in the last three years.
The French defender has made over 50 appearances for Chelsea thus far while chipping in with two goals and one assist. However, while Badiashile has struggled to become a first-choice starter for the West London club, his stock remains high. AC Milan and Juventus are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Serie A adventure beckons?
Benoit Badiashile has been on AC Milan’s radar for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, as Massimiliano Allegri wants more options in his squad’s defensive unit. With the AC Milan boss eager to transform the Rossoneri into perennial Serie A title contenders, Badiashile has emerged as a viable target.
As for Juventus, the Serie A giants hold a long-standing interest in Badiashile. The continued interest is understandable, as Federico Gatti’s long-term future at the Allianz Stadium is uncertain. So, the Chelsea defender has emerged as a viable target for Juventus. The latest report has boosted the prospect of AC Milan and Juventus, as the Blues are ready to sell the Frenchman this summer.
Chelsea will demand around €35 million to part ways with Badiashile, with Marseille also keen on signing him in the coming months. So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 24-year-old French centre-back.
