The Sun: Chelsea set €29m price for centre-back with Milan’s interest rekindled

AC Milan have been named as one of the clubs interested in signing Chelsea defender Axel Disasi this summer.

Milan have already made a signing to bolster the defence as Mario Gila arrived from Lazio for a fee widely reported to be €30m including bonuses. However, with Fikayo Tomori’s future uncertain and enquiries arriving for Koni De Winter too, another addition can’t be ruled out after a sale.

New Disasi links

According to The Sun, Disasi is an option that the management are evaluating, and he has been linked before. The Frenchman ‘has not been training’ with the squad at Cobham because his future is seen as being away from the club.

Like his team-mate Alejandro Garnacho, who is believed to be a target for Aston Villa, the centre-back has been ‘allowed to train alone and focus on finding a new club’. Last season, he trained alone or with the U21s for the first half of the season before heading to West Ham on loan.

The Hammers wanted to try and bring him back to east London as they look for an immediate return to the Premier League following relegation, but Disasi ‘does not want to move to a Championship club’.

The report adds that Milan are ‘one of a number of Italian sides’ interested in the former Monaco man, while there is also interest from Ligue 1 clubs. Chelsea for their part want £25m to sell him, which is around €29m, and are seeking a permanent solution.

  1. I know Tomori gets a lot of criticism, but he is a good CB by any standard and has been a solid player for us for a long time.

    I would like to keep him as a squad player who can fight for a starting spot, and he genuinely loves the club. At a $15 million price tag, I’d rather keep him than sell him.

      1. He has over 200 games for Milan because he is bad. He hasn’t been out of the first team under 4 managers because you know better. You’re kidding yourself.

    1. Eh he has flaws that make him a weak link relative to his salary. Bad at marking and he’s the main culprit of in Milan’s poor set piece defense. His only asset is recovery speed but his poor positioning usually negates that. I’d say just because there’s been no one better doesn’t mean it’s not time to move on.

  2. Disasi? More like disaster
    We don’t need to overhaul the entire defence or the team for that matter. Hope they at learn that lesson

    1. Agreed. 29mn ? This guy is worth -29mn

      Hell take up a squad space, play terribly, have expensive wages and wont be able to offload him to another gullible club. Nuts that hes even being suggested as an option

    1. I had recommended getting Chalobah when he was out of favor at CFC. Now, ACM couldn’t afford him. Does ACM have a real scouting department? I only comment on CFC players because I watch CFC with my son who did play 3rd division football in Germany so I trust his opinion.
