Chelsea fans are in total agreement after claims Enzo Maresca wants to keep Benoit Badiashile

Even though he’s not an automatic starter at Chelsea, the transfer noise coming out of Stamford Bridge is that Benoit Badiashile will be staying at the club beyond the summer.

Chelsea do have a number of central defenders in their first-team squad, including Benoit Badiashile.

The 24-year-old centre-half struggled for regular minutes last season under head coach Enzo Maresca, but it sounds like he will continue to fight for his place in West London.

Reports this week claim that Maresca wants to keep Badiashile, and he’s planning for next season with him in his plans. In addition, Badiashile made it clear he’s not looking to leave Chelsea. He said: “Yes, I will still be at Chelsea next season.”

Blues supporters on X have given the exact same response to claims that Maresca wants to keep Badiashile.

Ultimately, Chelsea fans are ready to fully support Maresca in his decisions, even if it’s over a player that has sometimes divided opinion.

One fan wrote: “Do as you please, gaffer. You’ve earned it.”

“If the coach says he stays, then we’re good,” another posted.
