Chelsea exit draws closer: Will Axel Disasi become a hot topic at Dortmund? | OneFootball

With the comebacks of Nico Schlotterbeck and Emre Can, who started for the first time since April in the 1-1 draw in Hamburg on Saturday, the personnel situation in Borussia Dortmund's defense has eased, although Niklas Süle is currently missing due to his toe injury. Beyond this season, however, Dortmund's central defense is associated with some question marks.

While the contracts of Süle and Can are expiring and extensions for both are anything but certain, BVB would like to bind Schlotterbeck beyond 2027. If the talks cannot be successfully concluded in the coming months as hoped, the sale of the national player might also come onto the agenda as early as next summer.

Transfer planned in winter

The loaned Aarón Anselmino from FC Chelsea can only be planned until the end of the current season. Whether a permanent signing of the 20-year-old Argentine will become a topic is open. Meanwhile, another Chelsea player has been linked with BVB for some time: Axel Disasi, who once played under coach Niko Kovac at AS Monaco, but is sidelined two and a half years after his approximately 45 million euro move to the Blues.

After Disasi, who was able to gain some match practice again in Chelsea's reserve team against FC Reading's U21 (4:1) yesterday, was already loaned to Aston Villa in the second half of last season, a final departure from London is now approaching. According to the portal "Foot Mercato," a transfer of Disasi is planned for the upcoming winter transfer period. Chelsea is unlikely to put obstacles in the way of the 27-year-old Frenchman but will certainly not waive a transfer fee.

To what extent BVB will throw its hat in the ring is open. In the long term, Borussia certainly has an eye on the central defender market.
