New club for Axel Disasi! Lyon plans to sign the defender this winter

Chelsea's French defender Axel Disasi may finally be on the move to a new club. French side Lyon have shown strong interest in signing the player.

Details: According to l'Equipe, Lyon are in talks for a potential winter transfer of Axel Disasi to their squad. The deal is reportedly close as Lyon are determined to strengthen their defense, needing to compensate for the departures of Moussa Niakhaté and Clinton Mata to the AFCON.

The possible transfer is made easier by the fact that Disasi has not been getting any game time at Chelsea and is eager to leave in search of regular football at the top level.

This season, the defender hasn't featured in a single match for the Blues, despite being under contract until 2029. Transfermarkt has valued the player at 18 million euros.
