Everything has gone very quickly for him in recent years. Recruited by Monaco from Reims in the summer of 2020 after having achieved an impressive first season in Ligue 1 during the 2019-2020 vintage, Axel Disasi rose through the ranks one by one on the Rock. Solid, fast and with a more than correct recovery, he became a manager and then the captain of the Monegasques in recent months under the leadership of Philippe Clément. Last season, the Belgian coach had also established him 49 times, a sign of his great confidence in the native of Gonesse.
Thanks to all these achievements, the 25-year-old defender was selected for the last World Cup with the France team and played three games for a total of 92 minutes of play, including a short start against Argentina. finally. Back from Qatar, he was not very reassuring in the rear of the Principality club and had suffered in particular from the winter departure of his central hinge companion, Benoît Badiashile. That’s good, he should, according to the latest information of the day, find his friend at Chelsea this summer.
45 million paid by the Blues for Disasi
Indeed, according to the latest indiscretions of The Athletic, an agreement in principle has been reached by the Blues with Monaco for a transfer of Disasi to London against 45 million euros. As a reminder, the London leaders had spent 40 million euros last winter to recruit Badiashile. In search of a right-handed defender capable of compensating for the long-term absence of Wesley Fofana, Chelsea’s recruitment unit has therefore bet on another French international.
Obviously, Ligue 1 is one of the markets favored by the residents of Stamford Bridge who have already recruited Malo Gusto last winter and are also in the process of getting their hands on Lesley Ugochukwu, who should initially be loaned to Strasbourg, and therefore now on Disasi. Eager to join the other side of the Channel and tracked by Manchester United and Newcastle, the latter should therefore discover the Premier League under the colors of Chelsea!
