Chelsea will not consider selling Benoit Badiashile during the 2025 transfer windows as the defender is highly thought of at Stamford Bridge despite his lack of game time.
The 23-year-old has featured seven times for the Blues this season in all competitions, but as far as the Premier League is concerned, the France star has only received 37 minutes of action.
Badiashile is below Enzo Maresca’s pecking order behind Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Tosin Adarabioyo and Axel Disasi. His future at the west London club looked uncertain heading into 2025, but that is not the case.
according to Fabrizio RomanoChelsea are not considering the centre-back as a player for sale as he is highly regarded at Stamford Bridge.
The transfer journalist explains that the The 23-year-old is considered part of Stamford Bridge’s long-term project as everyone at the club firmly believes that the French star has a bright future in the sport.
The rest of this season could be tough for Badiashile given Maresca’s preferences as a centre-back, but things could turn around if the former Monaco star can impress the Italian manager when given opportunities in cup competitions.
Benoit Badiashile has a difficult task at Chelsea
Badiashile has been at Chelsea since January 2023 after completing a Transfer of 35 million euros from Monaco The defender signed a huge seven-and-a-half-year contract until 2030 and as a result the Blues would find it difficult to move the player even if they wanted to.
The end of the 2023/24 campaign was the 23-year-old’s best spell at the club, but the arrival of Maresca has hampered his progress in west London.
The new Chelsea boss seems to have full faith in Colwill and Fofana at the moment, making Badiashile’s task of breaking into the Premier League starting XI for the rest of the campaign very difficult.
