Bayer Leverkusen enter race for Chelsea’s Axel Disasi
Bayer Leverkusen enter race for Chelsea’s Axel Disasi. Bundesliga outfits Bayer Leverkusen are said to have made contact with Chelsea defender Axel Disasi over a possible January transfer, according to new reports.
Disasi appears to have fallen down to fifth in the pecking order for Enzo Maresca’s centre-back choice behind the likes of Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Tosin Adarabioyo, and has managed just four appearances in the Premier League this season.
According to Sky Sports Switzerland, Disasi is said to be frustrated with his limited role and is now considering a move away from Chelsea in January to reignite his career.
His situation has reportedly caught the eye of Bayer Leverkusen, who have reached out to discuss a possible winter move as they sweat over the potential departure of captain Jonathan Tah, who is entering the final six months of his contract and has already made it clear he will not be signing an extension.
Disasi is also attracting interest from Juventus, but the Serie A side would only be able to offer an initial loan deal, something which may not be of interest to Chelsea.
Maresca, for his part, has stressed his desire to keep hold of every player in the squad, but acknowledged those struggling for minutes must decide whether they are happy continuing to fight for their futures.
