Axel Disasi, relatively underused by Enzo Maresca, is set to leave Chelsea before the end of the winter transfer window. Despite significant interest from AC Milan, Disasi has agreed to join Aston Villa. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Aston Villa's manager, Unai Emery, played a crucial role by convincing Disasi during a direct discussion. The transfer is pending final agreement between Aston Villa and Chelsea.

AC Milan has shown interest in Axel Disasi and is considering him as a potential addition to their squad. However, they must wait for Fikayo Tomori's departure before taking any concrete steps. Disasi is reportedly open to the idea of playing in Lombardy. Despite having made 17 appearances for Chelsea this season, it is reported that Disasi is not playing as much as he would prefer, which makes the prospect of moving to Milan appealing to him. Juventus Turin and Newcastle are also interested in the French international, but Milan's interest depends on the potential transfer of Tomori.
