Chelsea defender wanted by Juventus and Marseille?

Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile is attracting interest from Juventus and Marseille ahead of the winter transfer window.

The Frenchman has become a fringe player for the Blues this term and he has largely started in the Cup and European games.

Badiashile has been linked with an exit for some time and Caught Offside claim that Juventus and Marseille are weighing up offers.

The Bianconeri recently lost Gleison Bremer with a serious knee injury and they are keen on pursuing a replacement this winter.

Marseille, meanwhile, are aiming to bolster their central defensive department further and consider Badiashile as an ideal target.

The former Monaco man would be open to pursuing a new challenge, but the final decision could depend on the Blues' hierarchy.

Chelsea currently have Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill, Axel Disasi and Tosin Adarabioyo as centre-back options apart from Badiashile.

Manager Enzo Maresca may still want a quality replacement. The Blues have been heavily linked with Benfica's Tomas Araujo of late.
