What happened. Napoli have increased their offer for Badiashile to a €3m loan fee and a €20m option to buy, but Chelsea have not accepted and are holding out for more bonus clauses.

• Napoli need defensive reinforcements due to injuries to Buongiorno, Beukema, and Marianucci.
• Chelsea initially wanted a €15m obligation to buy or an €18-20m option.
• No agreement on the buy fee or whether it will be an option or obligation.

Napoli are desperate to strengthen their back line before the 2026-27 season starts.
