For several years now, Chelsea have liked to recruit French central defenders like Wesley Fofana and Benoît Badiashile. But while the Blues will have to do without their tricolor international (a selection), who will be absent for a very long time after a new physical problem in the knee and an anterior cruciate ligament operation in stride, the leaders of the London club have targeted Alex Disasi to strengthen their team for the next season, who will now be able to join his new team.
After a very successful season on the side of Monaco, which will have opened the doors to the French team for the World Cup in particular with the superb epic of the band of Didier Deschamps in Qatar as a high point, the defensive rock will have also played 49 matches in all competitions under the orders of Philippe Clement. A number that symbolizes all the trust placed in him. But Chelsea’s recruitment unit has therefore decided to bet on the tricolor defender who will now discover the Premier League with the Blues next season.
Axel Disasi goes English
The London leaders took out their checkbook to convince their Monegasque counterparts to separate from Axel Disasi. The Blues have indeed spent 45 million euros to attract the 25-year-old player, a little more than last winter during the transfer of Benoît Badiashile. Thanks to his arrival, Chelsea will surely hope to recreate the central hinge of Monaco, made up of the two Frenchmen, who had been one of the attractions on the Rock for several seasons. The new recruit of the English club had also suffered throughout the second half of the season after the departure of his compatriot.
“AS Monaco announces the transfer of Axel Disasi, 25-year-old French defender, to Chelsea. The Club wishes him the best for the rest of his career.”, specifies the press release from the Monegasque club to formalize the news. Arrived in Monaco from Reims, a club with which he initialed his first professional contract, in the summer of 2020, Axel Disasi will therefore experience a third club in his young career but also and above all a new challenge in England even if the Blues are unfortunately not qualified for the next edition of the Champions League.
