Axel Disasi is moving closer to Aston Villa. The Chelsea center-back has reached a personal agreement with the Birmingham club. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, decisive for the player was a direct talk with coach Unai Emery, who convinced him to prefer the Villans, despite interest from other European teams, including Atalanta.

Now the ball is in the two clubs’ court: Aston Villa will have to convince Chelsea to sell the player on an onerous loan, agreeing to cover the defender’s entire recruitment. The Blues, reeling from the sale of Renato Veiga to Juventus, seem willing to negotiate to get the Frenchman, who does not fully fit into coach Mauricio Pochettino’s plans, to leave. Disasi, who joined Chelsea in 2023 from Monaco, has also been approached by several Italian clubs in recent weeks, including Gasperini’s Atalanta. However, the French defender has decided to set his sights on Aston Villa, attracted by Emery’s technical project and the chance to carve out a starring role for himself in the Premier League.
