Chelsea have agreed a deal in principle with Monaco for defender Axel Disasi at a fee of £38.6m.
Chelsea have agreed to sign the France defender, Axel Disasi after losing Wesley Fofana to a serious knee injury.
Disasi will provide extra competition and is due to discuss personal terms before completing his move to Stamford Bridge.
Fofana has had surgery on his knee and speaking on Chelsea’s pre-season tour, Pochettino said he was hopeful the player would return from injury at some point this season.
Disasi will offer Chelsea another option as a right-sided center-back. He moved to Monaco from Reims, where he spent four years, in 2020 and featured for France at the 2022 World Cup, making three appearances.
With this great addition to the Blues, it’s expected that they will do much better in the coming season.
