Chelsea FC defender Benoit Badiashile has joined Napoli in a potential €23m transfer. The Blues, currently 10th in Premier League standings with 52 points from 38 games, will see Badiashile leave after four seasons.
What happened?
Napoli announced the signing of Badiashile on loan with an option to buy, with a fee of €3m to be paid for the loan and a further €20m for the permanent transfer.
Why it matters for Chelsea FC
The transfer is a significant move for Chelsea FC, who are looking to strengthen their squad after a disappointing season. With Jordan Henderson currently sidelined, the Blues will need to adjust their lineup.
What comes next?
Badiashile becomes Napoli's second new first-team signing of the summer transfer window, following the arrival of Costantino Favasuli from US Catanzaro. The Blues will look to replace Badiashile and improve their league standing, with 58 goals scored and 52 conceded so far, and a recent form of LWDLL.
