According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea has accepted Tottenham Hotspur’s loan offer for Axel Disasi, aged 26. However, Disasi has turned down this approach because he has already agreed personal terms with Aston Villa.
Romano further states that Chelsea is unwilling to let Disasi join Aston Villa as they are direct competitors for a Champions League spot next season. Chelsea is keen not to strengthen a rival team in the crucial final months of the season.
Disasi had hoped to leave West London before the transfer window closed. While he captained the team in their Europa Conference League campaign, the central defender has found limited playing time outside of this competition, making only six league appearances.
The French international joined Chelsea from AS Monaco in the summer 2023 transfer window for a fee of €45 million.
