LIVE – The pursuit is over, Chelsea have reportedly given the green light for Badiashile: the details

According to the latest reports, Chelsea have opened up about the sale of Benoît Badiashile, and the parties are considering transfer options that could include a loan with an option or obligation to buy. Transfer sources report advanced discussions and concrete interest, but there's still no official statement confirming the deal is complete: for now, negotiations are ongoing.

Badiashile is coming off a rocky season, with limited playing time due to injuries and rotations; this explains the possibility of a temporary solution before deciding on a permanent purchase. The financial terms and clauses that would transform a loan into a permanent deal remain to be clarified.
