According to England's Football London, Badiashile has had very limited playing time since joining Napoli on loan, and Chelsea is unlikely to receive the €23 million permanent transfer fee, with the player expected to return to Stamford Bridge next summer.

Enzo Maresca has been decisive in clearing out surplus players from Chelsea's squad during the summer transfer window. Chelsea fans hoped their new manager would have more authority than his predecessor, and their wishes were granted. When Chelsea confirmed the appointment of the Spanish manager, he signed a four-year contract. Internal sources at Stamford Bridge revealed that Maresca was appointed as "sporting director" as well as head coach.

During a busy summer transfer window, Chelsea signed 10 first-team players and broke the club's transfer record by signing Morgan Rogers for €117 million. Maresca was heavily involved in most of the signings and also played a key role in clearing out surplus players from the squad.

Following a disappointing 2024/25 season, Badiashile was placed on Chelsea's list of surplus players. Despite showing promise when he joined in January 2023, he has never truly fulfilled his potential during his time in England. Injuries have affected his form, and even when fit, he has made individual errors. Chelsea attempted to sell the defender last summer but was unsuccessful.

Chelsea at least succeeded in reducing Badiashile's wages for the season through a loan deal, as Napoli reached an agreement with The Blues for the 2024/25 season. According to reports, Napoli paid a €2.5 million loan fee and has a €23 million purchase option, which could turn the deal into a permanent transfer next summer.

However, from Chelsea's perspective, early signs are not promising. Badiashile has made just one appearance since joining Napoli, coming off the bench for 10 minutes in the match against Inter Milan on September 5, which was also his debut. Marcus Thuram got past Badiashile to score Inter's second goal, and Badiashile also bore some responsibility for the winning goal at the San Siro.

Since then, Badiashile has not played for Napoli again. Allegri has left him on the bench in recent matches against Arsenal, Bologna, and Fiorentina. According to reports from Italian media cited by Sport Witness, Allegri has "doubts" about Badiashile. The reports also indicate that Allegri had hoped he would immediately become a key player for Napoli, but this has not materialized.
