Chelsea are on the verge of completing the transfer of Monaco’s young Center Back Benoit Badiashile for a reported €37/€38 million.
The Blues have agreed personal terms with the 21-year-old on a long-term contract and a medical is set to take place.
Chelsea have been looking for a left-sided center-back since the summer and were unable to agree a deal with RB Leipzig for the Croatia international Josko Gvardiol.
According to top English journalist and writer for the Athletics David Ornstein revealed in his tweet on twitter, stating that the deal has been agreed by both clubs.
“🚨 EXCL: Chelsea reach total agreement with AS Monaco to sign center-back Benoit Badiashile. Fee €37/38m – medical being scheduled. If all goes to plan 21yo France international will sign a long-term contract already in place @TheAthleticFC #CFC #ASMonaco”
Badiashile received his first call-up to the France national team for two UEFA Nations League matches against Austria and Denmark last September.
