Bournemouth in talks to sign Chelsea’s Axel Disasi | OneFootball

Bournemouth have already brought in Lille OSC’s Bafodé Diakité, however, they could be set to add another French defender to their ranks in the form of Chelsea’s Axel Disasi (27), according to a report from Sacha Tavolieri.

Bournemouth have lost both of their starting centre-backs, Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi, this summer. The former joined Real Madrid, the latter joined Paris Saint-Germain. Diakité’s arrival was welcome, but they are looking to be active between now and the closure of the window.

Disasi, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, is now the subject of talks. Having returned to Stamford Bridge, it became obvious that the Frenchman was not in Chelsea’s plans. Bournemouth may offer the former AS Monaco man a route out of Stamford Bridge. The Cherrries are in talks over a loan deal, with a buy option. Talks with the player have also been initiated.
