Badiashile linked with Chelsea exit amid Juve interest

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have expressed interest in signing French centre-back Benoit Badiashile, who has fallen out of favour under Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca. The 23-year-old has played just 37 minutes in all competitions this term, raising questions about his future at Stamford Bridge.
Reports suggest that Juventus see Badiashile as an ideal addition to their defensive ranks. The Serie A giants are willing to take advantage of his lack of opportunities in London and are preparing an offer ahead of the January transfer window.
Badiashile joined Chelsea from AS Monaco in January 2023 but has struggled to establish himself as a key player. With Maresca favouring other defensive options, the Frenchman could be tempted by a move to Turin in search of regular minutes.
Juventus are not the only club monitoring the player's situation, but their intent to rejuvenate their squad makes them strong contenders. A transfer could provide the defender with a chance to rediscover the form that once made him one of Ligue 1's most promising talents.
