Report: Enzo Maresca ready to sell £38m player 'who doesn't fit his style' to fund Chelsea's move for Marc Guehi
Yesterday at 06:45 AM
Chelsea want to sign a central defender this month and have been looking at Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi as a potential target.
To fund a move for Guehi, Chelsea are looking to offload several first-team players who Enzo Maresca deems surplus to requirements.
One of the players the Italian manager is willing to sell is a player the Blues signed for £38 million back in 2023 and who he believes ‘doesn’t fit his style of play’.
Chelsea ready to sell Axel Disasi to make way for Marc Guehi
Axel Disasi could be allowed to leave Chelsea this month, according to the Telegraph.
It is claimed that the defender does not fit Enzo Maresca’s style of play at Stamford Bridge and he could be the player moved on to make room for Marc Guehi.
The Frenchman has clearly fallen out of favour in West London having made just five Premier League appearances this season.
As mentioned, the Blues are keen to bring back Guehi to the club almost four years on from selling him to Crystal Palace for £18 million back in 2021.
A deal for the 24-year-old is seen as tricky, however, the West London club are not yet discounting the possibility, especially given he has just 18 months left on his contract.
Meanwhile, another current Palace defender could be added as Chelsea have a call-back option on Trevoh Chalobah.
Who else could Chelsea sell in this month?
TBR Football revealed that Chelsea has made Carney Chukwuemeka available for transfer this month with West Ham United and Aston Villa keen on him.
Chelsea would ideally like to sell Carney Chukwuemeka rather than a loan and want £40 million for him.
Chelsea were open to letting Christopher Nkunku leave should he decide to move on this month, TBR Football has reported.
The Frenchman has emerging interest from Atletico Madrid, PSG and Bayern Munich.
