Chelsea FC is reportedly willing to listen to offers for defender Benoit Badiashile, despite signing him from AS Monaco for £35m just last summer. This news comes as the club welcomes new signing Tosin Adarabioyo, who joined on a free transfer from Fulham.
Co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart praised Adarabioyo's maturity and defensive qualities, indicating he is ready to step up to Chelsea's level. However, Badiashile's struggles since joining the club may lead to an early exit.
The centre-back was a key player in Chelsea's improved form towards the end of last season, but the club seems willing to take a risk and attempt to recoup their investment. Despite Badiashile's impressive character and emotional control, which earned him praise from former Monaco assistant manager Joao Tralhao, his time at Chelsea may be coming to an end.
Only time will tell if Badiashile will secure a summer transfer and rediscover his best form. Chelsea's decision to sell him could be a risky move, as Adarabioyo's arrival may not be enough to cover the loss of a talented player like Badiashile.
