According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have no plans for defender Benoit Badiashile to leave this summer.

On January 5, 2023, Benoit Badiashile arrived at Chelsea for a transfer fee of nearly 40M euros. Just 10 days later, he made his debut for the club in a match against Crystal Palace in the Premier League. However, his career at Chelsea has been hindered by injuries. Last season, he suffered three different injuries and missed 12 games. This season, Badiashile has been absent for a total of 187 days.

Nevertheless, Chelsea’s board remains patient with the French defender. Journalist Fabrizio Romano stated, “Chelsea currently have no intention of letting Benoit Badiashile leave this summer. Chalobah could potentially depart, as expected, but there are no plans regarding Badiashile as of now.”

“Chelsea rejected offers from Italian clubs for Badiashile last January,” Romano added.

In the following season, Chelsea are expected to part ways with defender Thiago Silva. Additionally, they are planning to rejuvenate their squad. Therefore, Badiashile will have the opportunity to play at Stamford Bridge.
