Chelsea fans can't believe it after journalist's Benoit Badiashile update

Chelsea supporters believe they’re “doomed defensively” after a report claimed the club do not consider Benoit Badiashile a player for sale.

Fabrizio Romano revealed that the 23-year-old centre-back is “highly thought of at Stamford Bridge,” with the club viewing him as part of the long-term project.

The Blues bought the France international from Monaco in January 2023 for £35million and since then he’s gone on to make 40 appearances for the Londoners.

However, Badiashile has failed to nail down a regular starting place at Stamford Bridge regardless of who has been in charge.

Enzo Maresca has preferred a centre-back partnership of Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana in his ‘A’ team, with Badiashile’s appearances this season predominantly coming in cup games when he’s rested his first team.

The defender is under contract at Chelsea until 2030 after initially signing a seven-and-a-half-year deal with the club.

The news of Badiashile’s status at the club hasn’t been met positively by Chelsea fans as they have questioned who he is highly thought of by, while others have told the hierarchy to sell him.

Others have stated they’re “doomed defensively,” with supporters now feeling they’re “stuck” with the France international at the club.
