Marseille ‘to rival’ Benfica for Tosin Adarabioyo targeted by Marco Silva | OneFootball

Benfica face competition for Tosin Adarabioyo, with Marseille moving to challenge a target identified by Marco Silva.

According to Glorioso 1904, Marseille want to enter negotiations with Chelsea after stepping up their interest in the English centre-back.

Chelsea still regard Adarabioyo as an important part of Xabi Alonso's squad, and the player is happy at Stamford Bridge. Those factors could complicate any summer move. The 28-year-old is under contract with the Blues until 2028.

Adarabioyo previously worked with Marco Silva at Fulham, a link that keeps alive the prospect of a switch to the Luz.

He made 29 appearances and scored two goals in 2025/26, and remains one of the club's defensive options. Benfica are monitoring developments amid fresh competition.
