According to Foot Mercato, a number of teams across Europe are interested in Badiashile, with clubs from the German Bundesliga and Italian Serie A keeping a close eye on the situation.

However, Monaco Matin, a French local media outlet, is also interested in Badiashile, with Roberto De Zerbi keen to bring in a new defender to help him in the second half of the season.
