Chelsea is again working on the transfer market this summer and after bringing in Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, players now want to continue. Noni Madueke has been the first big step to continue, but more is expected, and including defender Axel Disasi.
The French defender came to Chelsea of AS Monaco two years ago with a reimbursement of € 45 million, but has difficulty asserting himself and spent the second half of last year on loan in Aston Villa. There he was used as an alternative in the middle of the back or an option to be used in a rear three.
The 27.-year-old is a target for Newcastle United, according to caught offside, who explain that the Magpies have already initiated conversations for Disasi. The blues are looking for € 35 million for Disasi, but the final price could fall at € 30 million, with Aston Villa also interested in permanently protecting its services.
The same outlet further explains that Villarreal is also interested in a possible movement for Disasi. The yellow submarine has a history of recruitment from Ligue 1 and players from the Premier League who have seen their value fall. They are looking for Disasi on the outside because of his price tag, but they can offer Champions League football.
Villarreal currently has four central defenders in their books, after the outputs of veterans Eric Bailly and Raul Albiol. Logan Costa was a signing of big money last summer, while Rafa Marin was brought in by Napoli. They are accompanied by young talents Willy Kambwala (signed on a free from Manchester United) and Pau Navarro, but Disasi would certainly represent a statement and an established option that they do not currently do.
