Chelsea have knocked back all approaches for Benoit Badiashile and are adamant the defender will not be on the move this winter amid all the speculation that he is one of the players that Enzo Maresca is open to letting go when the January window opens up.
Badiashile was one of the players that CHELSEA spent some money on a couple of transfer windows ago to hopefully help improve that back-line – who have been conceding far too many goals over the past few seasons.
However – the move to the Premier League has not quite worked out for the defender and he has been unable to hold down a steady place in that Chelsea side over since his move to the club, and now a decision has been made on his future.
According to French publication RMC Sport, Badiashile is attracting strong interest from a number of potential suitors, including Juventus and an unnamed club in Ligue 1, but the Blues have opted to keep hold of the star.
The reports say that Maresca wants to keep most of his squad until the end of the season, as he knows that depth is what is needed to keep the season going well.

Look, there are a number of players at Chelsea that need to get sold this January as they have really struggled to make any real sort of impact on the side over the past 12 months or so.
The Blues need to make some space and try to add players to the side that will make an immediate impact or new boss Enzo Maresca could end up failing to achieve his goals for the club this campaign, despite their string start to the season.
Badiashile is a solid player – but despite the reports that CHELSEA wants to keep him, the right offer will get a deal done
