Chelsea centre-back Axel Disasi has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge for a long time.

Several clubs have expressed their interested in signing Axel Disasi, who signed for the Blues for £38.8 million (Sky Sports) in August 2023.

West Ham United were keen on Disasi’s signature, who has started just nine games for Chelsea this season.

Juventus contacted Chelsea about signing Disasi as well.

Sources told TBR Football that Aston Villa made contact to sign Disasi, who now seem likely to snap up the Frenchman.

Unai Emery’s side are in need of a defender to bolster their ranks.

Chelsea star Axel Disasi agrees personal terms with Aston Villa

Pau Torres suffered a metatarsal fracture at the end of last year.

While in Villa’s latest 1-1 draw against West Ham United, Tyrone Mings picked up an injury which could potentially keep him out for a while as he looked in pain after the knock.

But Aston Villa supporters will be relieved to hear Fabrizio Romano’s revelation about Axel Disasi agreeing personal terms with the club.

The Italian journalist revealed that the former Monaco defender “wants to join” the Villains.

Furthermore, Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Disasi has already held direct talks with Unai Emery and is now willing to head to Birmingham despite interest from other clubs in Europe.

Romano has stated that whether the deal goes through depends on Chelsea and Aston Villa.

Aston Villa are in talks to sign Juan Foyth as well.

If Villa intend to at least qualify for Europe at the end of the season, it is imperative for them to give Unai Emery all the tools to do so as they currently sit eighth in the Premier League table.

Enzo Maresca feels Axel Disasi does not suit Chelsea’s style of play

Enzo Maresca feels Disasi doesn’t suit his system and as a result, Chelsea are ready to move him on.

While Trevoh Chalobah could be sold in the summer, he is starting for Maresca upon his return to Cobham from his loan spell at Crystal Palace, playing from the off against both Wolves and Manchester City.

Enzo Maresca’s feelings have seemed crystal clear for a while, judging by how less minutes Disasi has been given this campaign.

From the Chelsea colossus’ point of view, he now has the chance to make them regret their decision if they decide to sell him.
