Badiashile and Napoli finalizing details before Chelsea exit
Benoit Badiashile looks set to leave Chelsea in the current window, with Serie A side Napoli emerging as the most likely destination. Reports indicate both player and club are in the final stages of discussions, with the deal expected to take shape shortly.

Napoli are looking to strengthen their defensive options as they aim to compete on multiple fronts.
