Chelsea secure £231m deal for promising Monaco defender, Axel Disasi With two years left on his contract, the Blues beat competition from Manchester United and Newcastle This signing comes as a response to the loss of centre-back Wesley Fofana to injury Stay tuned for more transfer window updates on Sky Sports
Chelsea have reached a tentative agreement with Monaco to secure the services of defender Axel Disasi for a figure close to £38.6 million. Disasi, who has only two years remaining on his contract, was previously associated with a move to Manchester United and Newcastle during this transfer period.
Monaco sought a certain degree of assurance regarding a replacement before approving the transfer for Disasi. Over the weekend, the club reached an agreement with Southampton for the acquisition of defender Mohammed Salisu.
Earlier this month, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino hinted that the club might enter the transfer market due to the ACL injury endured by centre-back Wesley Fofana.
Fofana underwent knee surgery and Pochettino expressed optimism that he would make a comeback during this season's injury absence. Pochettino's options for the center-back positions include Levi Colwill, Thiago Silva, Trevoh Chalobah, and Benoit Badiashile, who is currently recovering from a hamstring injury suffered in the previous season.
Blues agree £23.1m deal for Ugochukwu
Disasi will provide Chelsea with an additional choice in the right-sided centre-back position. After spending four years at Reims, he transferred to Monaco in 2020. Furthermore, Disasi represented France in the 2022 World Cup, where he made three appearances.
