The1905.Club Summary
Chelsea’s January transfer business is picking up pace, with Aston Villa submitting an official bid for Axel Disasi. The French defender, signed from Monaco for €45m just 18 months ago, has fallen out of favour under Enzo Maresca, even slipping behind Premier League debutant Josh Acheampong in the pecking order.Villa’s offer reportedly includes a transfer fee along with salary coverage, though the exact proportion of Disasi’s wages they would take on remains unclear. No mention has been made of a purchase clause, but if the move proves successful, a permanent deal could be arranged later. Chelsea will likely struggle to recoup their initial investment, but with Disasi surplus to requirements, a transfer to a Champions League-chasing Villa side appears to suit all parties. If negotiations progress smoothly, the deal could be finalised within the next 24 hours.
