Napoli targets Chelsea's Benoit Badiashile for summer transfer

Napoli has turned its attention to Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile due to Alessandro Buongiorno’s injury. Reports indicate that Napoli hopes to secure a three-year contract with Badiashile, who is reportedly open to a move to Italy for regular first-team opportunities. Chelsea is amenable to offers as they reshape their squad under Xabi Alonso. Badiashile might also be considered as part of negotiations for other players, but interest from Napoli has grown clearer, and discussions are still in early stages with no agreement yet.
