Juventus and Napoli negotiate defender deals for Badiashile and Gatti

Juventus are pursuing Chelsea centre‑back Benoît Badiashile, exploring a parallel deal with Chelsea that could also involve the club’s target Conceição. The Italian club sees Badiashile as a solution to its defensive needs and may link the transfer to a possible move for Juventus defender Federico Gatti.

Napoli, dealing with a serious injury to centre‑back Alessandro Buongiorno, are also targeting a new defender. Their primary focus is on Gatti, with Badiashile presented as an alternative that could be secured on a loan with an option to buy, given Chelsea’s willingness to negotiate. Napoli are also managing the sale of Miguel Gutierrez to Bayer Leverkusen, which affects their budget for incoming players. Discussions have included potential swap ideas, such as a Gatti‑Milinković‑Savić exchange, and the clubs are weighing the financial and sporting implications of each option.
