Napoli strike Badiashile deal: Full transfer details

Napoli are on the verge of completing a significant defensive signing, having reached an agreement with Chelsea for Benoît Badiashile. After weeks of negotiations, the move was confirmed by press, signalling that all parties have settled on the terms. The 23‑year‑old centre‑back will join on loan for €3 million, with €1 million in add‑ons and an option to buy set at €27 million, pushing the total potential cost beyond €31 million.

A product of Monaco’s academy, Badiashile spent four seasons at Chelsea but struggled to secure consistent playing time, making only 16 appearances last season. The Frenchman is now preparing for a fresh start in Serie A, where he aims to relaunch his career under Massimiliano Allegri. Napoli view him as a key addition capable of strengthening their back line and offering renewed stability as the club builds toward a more competitive campaign.
