Chelsea travel to face struggling Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. 

The Blues have won all three of their Premier League matches since Liam Rosenior took charge of the club last month, with the Englishman overseeing wins against Brentford, Crystal Palace, and West Ham United.

Rosenior will hope to see his side get the better of Wolves, who have won just one game in the league so far this term.

In the meantime, it appears that one member of Chelsea’s squad is set to leave the club during this summer’s transfer window.

As reported by CaughtOffside, centre-back Benoit Badiashile is increasingly likely to depart Stamford Bridge this summer.

The report claims that the Frenchman is unlikely to be part of the Blues’ project beyond the end of the current campaign, with the west London side likely to set an asking price of around £30 million for the player.

Badiashile, 24, joined Chelsea from French side Monaco back in 2023 and has since made 70 appearances for the Blues across all competitions.

The French defender has struggled to ever establish himself as a regular starter at Stamford Bridge, though, and has made just eight league appearances so far this season.

It is claimed that Italian outfit AC Milan showed initial interest in the player, but haven’t since followed that up.

Milan’s Serie A rivals, Juventus, and French Ligue 1 giants Marseille are also said to be interested in the central defender, who previously played more than 130 times for Monaco.

Badiashile is under contract at Chelsea until the end of the 2029/30 campaign, but he faces competition from the likes of Trevoh Chalobah, Wesley Fofana and Josh Acheampong for a starting spot in Rosenior’s side.
