Axel Disasi will cost around €45-50 million as Newcastle United and Manchester United learn the asking price for the Monaco defender.
According to Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United and Newcastle United must pay around €45-50 million to sign Axel Disasi. The Monaco defender has come in high demand, but the Premier League duo must adhere to the French side’s asking price.
Axel Disasi has put himself on the map after some consistent performances for Monaco over the last few seasons. His stature rose even further when he got called up to the France squad for the World Cup and made a few appearances.
Disasi’s versatility has attracted the interest of top teams from the Premier League. They would love to have a player of the 25-year-old Frenchman’s profile. Manchester United have been in talks with the defender for a while now and could consider moving once they sort out other priorities.
They have been searching for a new defender as Harry Maguire could depart. The former Manchester United skipper’s departure would leave a massive void at the back, and Erik ten Hag would need a viable replacement.

They have to pay €45-50 million, as Florian Plettenberg reports that talks between Premier League clubs and Monaco are underway. Newcastle United are also among the teams keen on Disasi and have held talks to sign the 25-year-old Frenchman.
Newcastle have already agreed on personal terms with Disasi, which makes them primary contenders. Whether the Magpies are open to paying the €45-50 million demanded by Monaco remains the question.
There are concerns from many corners about Newcastle’s spending power despite the Saudi backing. For instance, stories insisted the Magpies were looking to sell Allan Saint-Maximin to raise funds for Harvey Barnes.
If that’s the scenario, then any move for Disasi comes into doubt, especially for that asking price. It’s a similar situation with Manchester United with finances, but Ten Hag seems intent on signing a new defender at all costs.
Disasi seems open to a move to either of those sides, but Newcastle may have the upper hand. Both sides will play in the Champions League next season, which makes it a difficult choice for Disasi to comprehend.
