Journalist: Ajax eye surprise move for Chelsea star, Blues desperate to find solution | OneFootball

Ajax have held talks with Chelsea defender Axel Disasi over a potential move according to journalist Graeme Bailey.

Disasi is one of a number of players the Blues are looking to move on before the end of the transfer window, but so far they’ve received no offers.

The 27-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he made ten appearances in all competitions.

Ajax interested in Axel Disasi

Villa seem highly unlikely to sign Disasi on a permanent basis, but the Frenchman has been linked with a number of clubs.

Wolves are the most recent to have shown interest in Disasi, whilst Newcastle were reportedly interested before they signed Malick Thiaw.

Villarreal supposedly explored a loan move for Disasi, but it appears another European club could be interested in his services according to Bailey.

“Axel Disasi is on his way out, a number of clubs have had talks, including Wolves and also am told Ajax – but he is considering options,” he said as cited on X.com.

Ajax are in the market for a defender, and have money to spend having sold Jorrel Hato to Chelsea earlier this summer.

Chelsea are thought to want around €35m for Disasi, but it remains to be seen if any club are prepared to meet or get close to that valuation.

Chelsea still trying to sell Veiga

It’s not only Disasi Chelsea are trying to sell, they are also actively looking for a club for Renato Veiga, despite him only joining last summer.

Veiga spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus, and saw a move to Atletico Madrid fall through earlier this summer.

Villarreal had a bid rejected for Veiga, and he’s reportedly their dream target for the centre back position, with Chelsea believed to want a total package of €40m, which would represent a significant profit on the €14m they paid.
