December 25-Chelsea are trying to sign a new left centre-back, according to TA. Monaco 21-year-old Badiacil is expected to join.
It is reported that Chelsea reached a personal agreement with Red Bull Leipzig’s young centre-back Gervadiol last transfer window, but failed to agree on a transfer fee with the Bundesliga team. Now, despite Chelsea’s interest in the Croatian international, the rising value of the Croatian international has forced Chelsea to expand their search.
Endica of Frankfurt and Sinkapi of Bayer Leverkusen are targets for Chelsea in the winter window or next summer window. In addition, Monaco centre-back Badia Schiller has become a key target for the Blues. Chelsea are currently in talks with Monaco to sign the France international. Although no agreement has been reached between the two, a number of sources believe that Badiacil will join the Blues with a value of about 35 million euros in the next few weeks.
If Badia Siller succeeds in moving to Chelsea, he will fill the gap left by Rudiger and Christensen and compete for appearances with Tiago Silva, Koulibaly, Chaloba and Fofanah. In addition, the arrival of Badiacil will continue to stimulate the Blues owners to focus on bringing in young players for the club. The club has signed Chuke Umeka, Fofanah, Kukurelia and other young players in summer window.
Badiacil is 1.93 meters tall, has a strong ability to control the ball, is fast, and can often snatch the ball from his opponent’s feet without falling to the ground. Although he is only 21 years old, he has a lot of experience and has made 135 appearances for Monaco.
