Badiashile not a starter in league games right now
Clubs will have another opportunity to upgrade their roster or offload players they wish to part with when the winter window opens in January.
The winter window is typically quiet, though, as teams are reluctant to release players in the middle of a season. In addition to not wanting to cause any problems, they want to ensure that they have a sizable team for the remainder of the season.
Ben Chiwlell and Carney Chukwuemeka come to mind when I think of Chelsea selling one or two players, but I don’t see any players who are currently playing in the league or in cup matches being sold in January.
Badiashile is wanted by Juventus
Even still, Juventus are apparently showing an interest in signing centre back Benoit Badiashile in the January window.
According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus is eyeing a move for Badiashile in January. The Frenchman could be an ideal solution to Juventus’ defensive woes, offering experience and versatility at the back. Juventus believes that the 23-year-old could quickly adapt to their style of play, as he has shown promising performances at Chelsea and possesses qualities that would fit well into the Bianconeri system.
Badiashile has been a regular starter in cup games for Enzo Maresca’s side, so I can’t see him being allowed to go in January. I do however see him leaving the club in the summer window because he will want to be playing more regular league football, I am sure.
