Newcastle United have been told they will have to pay between €50m and €60m if they want to sign Benoit Badiashile from Monaco. The Magpies are one of several European clubs to be linked with a move for the young centre-back this summer but he won’t come cheap.
At 21 years of age, he is yet another talented centre-back fresh off the production line in France, a nation blessed with an unbelievable pool of central defenders. Badiashile has established himself as a key member of Monaco’s first team so it is hardly surprising that they have placed such a high valuation on him.
Nice-Matin in France have reported the €50m to €60m price tag amid ongoing interest from some of the biggest clubs in the world. Newcastle are one of many sides to have been linked with the player, alongside Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Sevilla who are all reportedly showing some kind of interest.
