Real Sociedad targets Badiashile to strengthen defense
Real Sociedad is the latest club to express interest in signing French defender Benoit Badiashile, who is a free agent from Chelsea. The club has sent an offer to the defender to strengthen its defense in La Liga.
Why is it important for Real Sociedad?
Real Sociedad is looking to strengthen its defense after Duje Caleta-Car returned to Lyon after his loan spell in San Sebastián. The club is looking for a left-footed defender to play in a back three system, after failing to sign Marcos Senesi.
What comes next?
Chelsea is willing to let Badiashile go after signing Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace for £52m. Fellow defenders Trevoh Chalobah and Axel Disasi are also expected to be transferred.
