Leeds United are interested in signing Axel Disasi from Chelsea, with the London club’s management situation having no bearing on the transfer.
According to Football insiderThe 27-year-old French defender has no future at Chelsea and is likely to move this month. The defender’s move to Leeds is at an advanced stage and is likely to go ahead before the transfer window closes.
West Ham United is also interested in Disasi.
Leeds expected to sign Axel Disasi
Chelsea have appointed Liam Rosenior as their new manager following the retirement of Enzo Maresca. However, Rosenior is unlikely to keep Disasi at the club. The former Monaco defender has no future at Chelsea and has struggled for regular opportunities at the London club. Joining Leeds would be ideal for him. He would revive his career with regular football at Elland Road.
Leeds are fighting for survival in the Premier League, and they need to tighten up at the back. Signing the Chelsea player could be ideal for them. The defender has previously shown his quality at Monaco and Disasi can also succeed at Leeds. Regular football at the Premier League club could bring out the best in him.
Disasi needs a move
According to the report, Disasi is part of the bomb squad at Chelsea. The Blues want to get rid of certain players as quickly as possible, and the Frenchman is on that list.
It makes no sense for him to stay at Chelsea and he will certainly hope that the club can reach a deal soon. Rumors are swirling about a possible loan or permanent deal for the French defender. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop. He has not played for Chelsea since April 2025 and will be desperate for a move.
