Chelsea's French defender Axel Disasi, 27, could be on his way out of the club as early as the winter transfer window.
Details: London boss Enzo Maresca has completely excluded Disasi from the first-team squad – the Frenchman hasn't played a single minute for the Blues this season. Recently, he only featured for the U21s in a match against Reading.
According to Foot Mercato, both sides agree that a January departure is the best solution. It's still unclear whether Disasi will leave on loan or on a permanent deal, but several European clubs have already shown interest, including his former team Monaco.
The Frenchman joined the London club in August 2023. Since then, he has made 61 appearances, scored five goals and provided two assists. His current market value according to Transfermarkt is €18 million.
Reminder: Atletico are interested in signing Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella.
