Napoli makes £15M bid for Chelsea's Benoit Badiashile
Summary

Napoli has submitted a £15 million offer for Chelsea centre-back Benoit Badiashile as they seek to enhance their defensive lineup. The move comes following Alessandro Buongiorno's knee surgery, which will sideline him until autumn. Badiashile, who has played just 24 league matches for Chelsea since joining from AS Monaco in 2023, is available for the right fee. However, Chelsea aims to secure around £30 million for him, with initial reports indicating that Napoli's bid falls short of this valuation. Chelsea is also considering offers for Trevoh Chalobah and Axel Disasi, reflecting ongoing adjustments in their squad.
