Benoît Badiashile set to join Napoli on €3m loan fee
Napoli have reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea for centre‑back Benoît Badiashile, with 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 club‑to‑club verbal agreement with Chelsea for defender Benoît Badiashile. The deal is structured as a loan with a €3m fee, €1m in performance add‑ons and a €27m option to buy, with the player's salary also covered by the Italian side. The move would see the French centre‑back replace Massimiliano Allegri's defensive options at Napoli.
Onside’s model values Badiashile at €10m, suggesting the reported €3m loan fee is fair relative to that valuation. The model assigns a 95% confidence level to the likelihood of the agreement being finalised.
The story is currently being followed by a single outlet, with the information sourced from Fabrizio Romano. Further confirmation from the clubs is awaited before the transfer can be deemed completed.
