Overview
- Chelsea and centre-back Axel Disasi have agreed that he will leave the club permanently this summer, ending his time at Stamford Bridge.
- Disasi signed from AS Monaco in August 2023 for £38.6 million on a six-year contract but failed to establish himself as a regular starter.
- He was loaned to Aston Villa in February 2025 and to West Ham for the second half of the 2025–26 season, with West Ham not triggering a purchase option.
- Chelsea has placed Disasi on a sale list and has already received enquiries from other clubs, with at least three teams reported to be interested.
- The sale is driven by Chelsea’s crowded defensive squad, recent managerial and recruitment changes, and the club’s aim to recoup value from an expensive, underused signing.
