Exclusive: Euro giants in talks to sign Chelsea star that Enzo Maresca would prefer to keep
Briefly

Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile is being pursued by Marseille and Juventus, sparking uncertainty about his future at the club. While manager Enzo Maresca values him, Badiashile has not yet fulfilled expectations in the Premier League. Initial talks have occurred between Badiashile and Marseille, indicating significant interest as the January transfer window approaches. The 23-year-old could be tempted to return to Ligue 1 to rejuvenate his career after struggling to adapt in English football.
Despite the potential for a transfer, Maresca is inclined to keep Badiashile at Chelsea, believing he has great potential to succeed in the Premier League. Yet the decision could be influenced by affordable offers, particularly as Chelsea has depth in central defence with players like Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana. Badiashile's sale may be feasible depending on the club's strategy while navigating the demands of his development at such an early stage in his career.
