Juventus ask Chelsea for Disasi availability in defence | OneFootball

Juventus have reportedly asked Chelsea for the availability of Axel Disasi in January, as they have confirmed at least one defender will arrive.

Director Cristiano Giuntoli has said several times that the Bianconeri will make investments mid-season to bolster the back line.

This is an inevitability after both Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal were ruled out for six months by anterior cruciate ligament injuries.

While Feyenoord’s David Hancko is the first choice, and Antonio Silva of Benfica a more expensive option, Calciomercato.com and IlBianconero.com point towards Disasi.

The centre-back will turn 27 in March and therefore has plenty of experience, but has lost his place at Chelsea since Enzo Maresca took over in the summer.

Chelsea invested €45m to sign Disasi from AS Monaco in 2023, but Juve and Bayern Munich are ready to pounce on the unhappy France international.

Although he started all their Conference League games, the defender made only three Premier League starts and spent many of them on the bench.

Juventus have reportedly made an approach to ask for information from Chelsea, most likely to see if they would be open to a loan deal.
