The transfer window opened its doors this Sunday, January 1. For this first day, little formalization but a lot of rumors. Back to this 1st day of the transfer market.
Rumor of the day: Benoît Badiashile (Monaco) very close to Chelsea
One more French international at Chelsea? According to the English media, The Athletic, Monaco and Chelsea have reached an agreement regarding the transfer of Benoît Badiashile. The central defender of Monaco should commit to the Blues for the sum of 37.5 million euros.
A big loss for ASM as the native of Limoges formed a solid central hinge with Axel Disasi. Thus, the sports management of Monaco will have to find a replacement for him. A construction site is therefore opening in the Principality.
Mercato: Rumors in brief
In addition to the probable arrival of Benoît Badiashile, Chelsea are also working to complete the arrival of Enzo Fernandes. The Benfica player is the subject of an offer from the Blues of around 130 million euros.
OM also want to be active in this winter transfer window. In addition to Ruslan Malinovskyi, Marseille is interested in Hannibal Mejbri. The Tunisian is currently playing on loan from Birmingham. The Tunisian international has played 19 Championship games this season. Another club that must imperatively succeed in its transfer window: Olympique Lyonnais. Only 8th in the standings, OL coach Laurent Blanc demanded reinforcements this winter. After the probable signing of Dejan Lovren, the Gones could record the arrival of Steven Nzonzi.
