Fiorentina are interested in signing the Chelsea defender Axel Disasi during the January transfer window.
The 27-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at the London club, and he needs to leave them in order to play more often. The relegation-threatened Italian club is willing to provide him with an exit route before the window closes. According to Sky Sports, the two clubs are yet to finalise an agreement. It will be interesting to see if the deal gets done before the windows.
The Frenchman has no future at Chelsea, and he needs to move on. He has previously shown his quality at Monaco, and there is no doubt that he could be a useful player in Italy. Chelsea is unlikely to stand in his way either. They do not view him as a key part of the plans, and holding on to the player does not make sense. It would be ideal for the two clubs to reach an agreement quickly. The defender will be desperate to get his career back on track, and the Italian outfit will be able to provide him with a prominent role in the first team.
Leeds United were keen on Disasi as well.
Disasi needs a move
The 27-year-old is at the peak of his career, and sitting on the bench at Chelsea will not benefit him. He needs to play regularly. On the other hand, Chelsea will need to improve its defensive performance. They have looked quite vulnerable at the back this season. Signing a defender could make a big difference for them. They have been linked with the Rennes star Jeremy Jacquet in recent weeks.
It will be interesting to see if they can sell Disasi and replace him with his compatriot. The 20-year-old could prove to be an upgrade on the Chelsea player. He is one of the best young defenders in football, and he would be a major coup for the London club.
Disasi will also look to sort out his long-term future and focus on his football. He could be an asset for the Italian club.
