It has been a busy week for Chelsea in the transfer market following their purchase of Morgan Rogers.
Chelsea have also agreed to send Alejandro Garnacho to Aston Villa on loan. The winger will join the Midlands club permanently if certain conditions are met next season.
Garnacho is not the only player who will be leaving Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes, though.
Where would this Chelsea team finish? 👀
Axel Disasi’s £25m price tag is a bargain
Axel Disasi is still not part of Chelsea’s first-team plans and is likely to be sold this summer.
According to The Standard, the Blues have slapped a £25m price tag on the defender, which is not that much in this market. In fact, if anyone is willing to pay that, they could end up getting a very good deal.
Things have not exactly worked out for Disasi in west London, but he had a productive loan spell at West Ham United in the second half of last season.
At 28, the centre-back is quite experienced. He made 129 appearances at AS Monaco before joining Chelsea, where he has put on the blue shirt 61 times.
Disasi has also won a few caps for his country, so he is a full France international. In terms of profile, Disasi is a very big and strong centre-half who relishes the physical battle against centre-forwards. However, he does lack pace, which is one of his weaknesses.
Overall, Disasi is a capable defender, and when you look at how some of Chelsea’s other centre-backs performed last season, he may not necessarily be the worst after all.
Whatever the case, Disasi is set to leave Chelsea and could improve another English club’s defence.
Amid Chelsea’s pursuit of Maxence Lacroix, it is thought that Crystal Palace have some interest in Disasi. So perhaps Selhurst Park could be a potential destination for the former Monaco man.
