Three European clubs set sights on unwanted Chelsea defender

Chelsea are prepared to let go of some players this January transfer window with Enzo Maresca looking at trimming his squad.

Topping the list of players who have been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge is Axel Disasi. It is claimed that the Frenchman will be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge if a suitable offer is received this month.

According to latest report from CaughtOffside, German side Bayer Leverkusen and Italian outfits Juventus and Atalanta are interested in Disasi.

Report claimed these clubs are willing to slug it out for Disasi’s signature and it’s only a matter of time before he secures the move.

Disasi, 26, joined the Blues from Ligue 1 side Monaco in the summer of 2023 and has since made a total of 60 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring on five occasions.

The centre-back has found himself out of favour since the arrival of Maresca last summer, though, starting just four of Chelsea’s 21 Premier League matches so far this term.

Disasi has primarily been used as a right-back this season, but has captained Chelsea on several occasions in the Europa Conference League and Carabao Cup.

The France international is contracted to the West London side until the end of the 2028/29 having signed a long-term contract when he joined the club, but it appears increasingly likely that he could depart Stamford Bridge before the end of the current window.
