Napoli have identified Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile as a top transfer target, according to multiple reports. The Serie A club are looking to strengthen their defense ahead of the new season.
Badiashile, 25, joined Chelsea from Monaco in January 2023 for a reported fee of £35 million. He has made 45 appearances for the Blues across all competitions, but has struggled for consistent playing time due to injuries and competition.
Napoli are reportedly preparing an offer, although no official bid has been made yet. Chelsea are open to selling the French defender if the right price is offered, as they look to balance their squad and comply with financial regulations.
Badiashile's representatives have not commented on the speculation. The transfer window remains open until the end of August, and Napoli are expected to make a move in the coming weeks.
