Chelsea and Napoli are edging closer to a deal for defender Benoit Badiashile, according to EPL Index, with fresh talks between the two clubs expected in the coming days.
The Frenchman has struggled for regular football at Stamford Bridge and appears to be a candidate to leave as Chelsea continue reshaping their squad. Napoli are reportedly keen to bring the centre-back to Serie A, and negotiations are said to be progressing well.
While terms are not yet finalised, EPL Index suggests both parties are working towards finding common ground soon, with further discussions set to determine whether the move can be completed. No official confirmation has been made by either club, and the transfer remains at the negotiation stage.
