Axel Disasi makes transfer decision with options fast running out

Axel Disasi would rather head to Turkey than Saudi Arabia with both transfer windows still open according to reports.

Chelsea have been unable to move Disasi on this summer despite the 27-year-old being for sale from the start of the window.

Disasi spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he made ten appearances for Unai Emery’s side, but they opted against making the move permanent.

Disasi attracted interest from clubs in England such as Bournemouth and West Ham, but moves to neither club worked out.

The Frenchman also saw a loan move to Monaco collapse, whilst Disasi is believed to have turned down three Premier League loans on deadline day.

Saudi side Neom are considering another approach for the France international, whilst Besiktas are also said to be pursuing a move for Disasi.

Disasi faces the prospect of playing no football in January, although windows in Turkey and Saudi Arabia are still open.

However, he might have made a transfer decision, and Give Me Sport have reported the defender would prefer a move to Turkey over Saudi Arabia.

The former Monaco man has made 61 appearances for the Blues since joining from the Ligue 1 outfit, and scored six goals, but is unlikely to appear for the club again.
