Chelsea make transfer decision on Benoit Badiashile

Chelsea have no desire to part ways with defender Benoit Badiashile amid interest from AC Milan among others.

The Frenchman joined the Blues from Monaco during the 2023 winter transfer window and was one of their best signings.

However, he picked up an injury before the end of the campaign and since his comeback, he has struggled to find consistency.

This has led to suggestions that he could be sold amid interest from Milan. The Rossoneri failed with a winter move for him.

The Serie A giants plan to return for his services in the summer, but the Blues are quite clear that they won't listen to any offers.

Badiashile is considered as a key part of the club's long-term plans and he won't be placed in the transfer market this summer.

Instead, the likes of Trevoh Chalobah and Marc Cucurella could be sold to recoup funds to balance the club's financial books.

Ian Maatsen and Armando Broja are among other candidates, who could leave on a permanent basis during the summer.
