Benoît Badiashile set to join Napoli from Chelsea for €3m loan fee
Napoli have reached a club‑to‑club verbal agreement with Chelsea for centre‑back Benoît Badiashile, involving a €3m loan fee, €1m in add‑ons and a €27m purchase option, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Napoli have reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea for the loan of defender Benoît Badiashile. The deal includes a €3m loan fee, €1m in performance add‑ons and a €27m option to buy, with the player's salary covered by the Italian club. The move would see the French centre‑back replace a defensive vacancy under Massimiliano Allegri.
