Chelsea have decided to act quickly in the winter transfer window, bringing back Trevor Chalobah, who was on loan to Crystal Palace, to their squad to compensate for the absence of Wesley Fofana, who is injured again. Not necessarily good news for Axel Disasi, the 26-year-old French defender. Author of a successful first season with the Blues, he lacks continuity under the orders of Enzo Maresca, who frequently uses him as a full-back.
Although he played a lot in the Europa Conference League, he only appeared 5 times in the Premier League for the 2024-2025 financial year. Therefore, he is considered an interesting option for many clubs looking for a central defender. This is the case of Juventus Turin, which today announced the recruitment of Portuguese full-back Alberto Costa.
Juventus made contact
The Italian club plans to attract a new center during this winter transfer window, and it has clearly targeted the former Monegasque. For Disasi, it’s an interesting way out, especially since it’s a place within the central hinge that awaits him. The Frenchman wants to find playing time again in his favorite position.
Juventus therefore hopes to obtain the defender’s loan, and contacts have already taken place. However, we will have to be wary of Newcastle, who had already ticked off Disasi’s name last summer. The club from the north of England could return to the charge in January. Things are moving in any case for the international tricolor (5 selections).
