Al-Qadisiyah Enters Badiashile Race.. Chelsea Sets the Price

The management of Al-Qadisiyah has moved decisively in recent days to enter negotiations with French defender Benoît Badiashile, a player for Chelsea FC, with the aim of strengthening the defensive line before the new season begins.

Al-Qadsia's interest in signing the player comes as part of the club's plan to strengthen its ranks with elements possessing significant European experience, especially after the strong performance the team delivered last season.

Press reports revealed that "Canterasport," the company responsible for managing Badiashile's affairs, prefers that the player remain in Europe rather than move to the Saudi Roshn League in the upcoming period.

On the other hand, Chelsea's management has made a decision regarding the future of the French defender, expressing their willingness to sell his contract permanently in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The sources clarified that the English club set an amount close to £29.2 million to agree to the player's departure, as part of the plan to reorganize the team roster for the new season.

The interest in Badiashile is not limited to Al-Qadisiyah alone, as several European clubs are closely monitoring his situation, led by Milan, Juventus, and Marseille, due to his recent decline in starting appearances with Chelsea.

Al-Qadsia hopes to finalize the deal early despite strong competition, especially since the management aims to build a team capable of performing impressively in local and continental tournaments in the upcoming season.
