Milan Targets Chelsea Defender to Strengthen Its Squad
"Fichajes" reported that Milan club is seeking to sign the French defender Axel Disasi from Chelsea during the upcoming winter transfer window.
This interest comes after the player's diminished role in Chelsea's lineup under coach Enzo Maresca, prompting him to look for a new opportunity to play regularly and maintain his international level.
The source mentioned that Disasi, 27 years old, represents an ideal option to reinforce the defense, combining physical strength, international experience, and reliability in performance. Signing him is considered an important step to compensate for the departure of senior players, as well as to stabilize the backline after the unstable performances of some other alternatives.
The site indicated that the deal would be financially feasible, as it could be done on a free loan basis with Chelsea covering part of the player's salary, aligning with Milan's conservative financial plans.
Also, the good relationship between the Italian club and Chelsea gives Rossoneri an advantage in negotiations compared to other European clubs interested in the player, such as Besiktas and Lyon.
The report confirmed that coach Massimiliano Allegri has been monitoring Disasi for a long time and appreciates his strength in one-on-one duels and his ability to play high up the pitch, considering him perfectly suitable for Milan's defensive system. If the deal receives the green light from the technical staff, it can be completed quickly before the January transfer window closes, bringing Milan closer to reinforcing its defense with a player possessing the required experience and quality.
