Chelsea’s raid on Ligue 1 defenders is confirmed. After Malo Gusto and Benoît Badiashile last winter, the London club is preparing to recruit Axel Disasi. The central defender of Monaco should soon commit to the Blues for a period of five years, according to information from “The Athletic” that “Le Parisien” is able to confirm. The operation should be around 45 million, excluding bonuses.

A time targeted by Paris Saint-Germain, Disasi will finally discover the Premier League at 25 years old. He will have to carve out a place in the plethoric workforce of Chelsea, who are recruiting with a vengeance to erase their pitiful past season (12th in the championship). The club owned by Todd Boehly notably enlisted Christopher Nkunku (Leipzig) or Nicolas Jackson (Villarreal) this summer. Other well-known faces in Ligue 1 could follow, such as Rennais Lesley Ugochukwu, who has just been transferred for 30 million euros and who joins Mauricio Pochettino’s group on tour in the United States.
Trained at Paris FC
French international on four occasions and selected for the last World Cup, Axel Disasi is preparing to leave Monaco, three years after his arrival. The native of Gonesse (Val-d’Oise), trained at Paris FC and revealed in Reims, played 129 games there. He will notably be in competition with the Blues with his hinge partner in Monaco Benoît Badiashile, the former Parisian Thiago Silva or the international Wesley Fofana, recently victim of a serious injury.
