Napoli has reached a verbal agreement to bring in Benoit Badiashile, a 25-year-old central defender from Chelsea, in this summer transfer window. The French player was one of Xabi Alonso's discards at the Blue team.

The deal has been structured through a paid loan of 3 million euros (2.5 million pounds) with a non-obligatory purchase option set at 27 million euros (23 million pounds), with the Italian team taking on the full salary of the French player pending the final signature from President Aurelio De Laurentiis.

The economic terms of the loan agreement between Napoli and Chelsea

As revealed by journalists Fabrizio Romano and Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli will pay a fixed 3 million euros as a loan fee for Badiashile. The initial amount can increase by 1 million euros (800,000 pounds) based on bonuses linked to sports objectives during the 2026/2027 season.

If the Naples entity decides to exercise the purchase option in the summer of 2027, the transfer will reach a total value of 26 million pounds (30 million euros). This figure allows Chelsea to approach the initial valuation of 30 million pounds set by the player, who has four years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

Aurelio De Laurentiis' signature as the final bureaucratic step

Although the parties have a closed verbal understanding after several days of negotiations, the operation awaits formal approval from Aurelio De Laurentiis. The president of the Italian team must authorize the disbursement of the required additional variable of 1 million euros demanded by the British leadership to conclude the process.

The 25-year-old French center-back will bring rotation to Napoli's defense after not having continuity in the Premier League. The Serie A club will cover 100% of his salary during the loan duration to expedite the arrival of the defender.

President Aurelio De Laurentiis will review Napoli's final documentation in the next 24 hours. Once the presidential authorization is signed, Benoit Badiashile will travel to Italy for medical examinations and join Napoli's squad before the weekend.
