Aston Villa have emerged as a possible destination for Axel Disasi, with Unai Emery's team open to allowing Diego Carlos, who is linked with Fenerbahce, to leave if they can secure a suitable replacement. Disasi, who joined Chelsea from Monaco in August 2023 for a reported fee of €45 million (£38.5 million) on a six-year contract, is anticipated to depart the Blues before the conclusion of the January transfer window. Although he made 44 appearances last season, his playing time has been restricted under the new head coach Enzo Maresca, and it is reported that a loan move has already been agreed upon by the player and club. With Chelsea's decision to recall Trevoh Chalobah, Disasi's position in the squad has been further diminished, making a transfer to Villa a feasible option.
