The centre-back joined the Blues from Monaco last winter and he was a regular in the line-up before suffering a hamstring injury in May.

Badiashile only recently returned to action after a long recovery, but he is said to be considering his future at the west London side.

AC Milan have expressed an interest in signing him, but a deal could be complicated due to the lengthy contract of the player.

Chelsea are in a strong position to negotiate as a result, they are unlikely to allow him to leave unless they receive a sizeable transfer fee.

Milan are not in a position to spend big amid FFP concerns and they may have to look elsewhere. They are looking for an initial loan deal.

Arsenal 's Jakub Kiwior has also been linked with the Rossoneri, but the Gunners are also reluctant to part ways with the Polish star.
