Napoli Offers €18 Million for Chelsea Defender Badiashile Amid Defensive Injuries

In an exclusive report by renowned Napoli journalist Raffaele Auriemma, Napoli's sporting director Manna has submitted an €18 million offer to Chelsea for French defender Benoît Badiashile, born in 2001. The move comes due to injuries to key defenders Buongiorno and Beckham, leaving Napoli with only Rrahmani, Marianucci, and the inexperienced Rafa Marín for the start of the season. Despite publicly stating a 'sell before buy' policy, the report emphasizes Napoli's urgent need for an experienced center-back to avoid defensive risks. The offer targets the Chelsea player as a solution to bolster the backline.
