Chelsea is reportedly planning to offload defender Axel Disasi this summer, placing him on the club's "for sale" list after a mixed spell at Stamford Bridge.
Disasi, who joined Chelsea from Monaco in 2023 and notably scored on his debut, made 44 appearances in his first season. However, he found himself falling down the pecking order, leading to a loan move to West Ham United in February. This temporary switch offered him regular playing time and helped him become a key player in West Ham's defense under Nuno Espirito Santo.
The loan spell at West Ham is expected to boost Disasi's value, potentially attracting interest from other clubs. While West Ham wasn't anticipated to make the move permanent, Chelsea is now looking to leverage his Premier League experience and potential resale value to generate funds.
This decision aligns with Chelsea's broader strategy of squad optimization, investing in younger talent and trimming the roster. For Disasi, a permanent move at 27 would likely provide the consistent starting opportunities he needs, rather than sporadic appearances at Chelsea. The club's recent transfer windows have shown a decisive approach to squad management, aiming to balance finances and clear space for future rebuild phases.
