Bournemouth have opened discussions with Chelsea over a potential loan-to-buy move for Axel Disasi as they seek to reinforce a depleted defence. \u201cAxel Disasi could be on his way out of Chelsea soon as Bournemouth begin talks over a move for his services in a loan-to-buy deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Disasi arrived at Chelsea in 2023 from Monaco for \u00a338.5million and has made 61 appearances, but his time at Stamford Bridge has been inconsistent. His role was further limited after Enzo Maresca took charge and the club added Jorrel Hato this summer. He was omitted from Chelsea\u2019s Club World Cup squad and did not make the bench for the Premier League opener against Crystal Palace. A loan to Aston Villa in January failed to revitalise his career, with Villa supporters quick to call for his return to Stamford Bridge following underwhelming displays.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth\u2019s need for cover at centre-back is clear after the departures of Dean Huijsen and Illia Zabarnyi. Huijsen returned to Real Madrid and Zabarnyi joined PSG, leaving fewer experienced options. New signing Bafode Diakite was started alongside Marcos Senesi in the opening match against Liverpool, with James Hill the only defensive cover on the bench. That lack of depth has prompted the club to act.<\/p>\n
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported via X that Bournemouth have started \u201cclub-to-club talks\u201d with Chelsea , while personal terms are also being discussed with Disasi. Competition for the defender may be strong, with L\u2019Equipe naming Juventus, Newcastle and Villarreal among those interested.<\/p>\n
The move represents a calculated risk for Bournemouth. Disasi\u2019s record at Chelsea and an unsuccessful Villa loan leave questions, but his profile as a physical, experienced centre-back matches the immediate needs in Andoni Iraola\u2019s squad. Bournemouth will hope that a loan spell at the Vitality Stadium could offer Disasi a platform to regain form and that the deal, even temporarily, will stabilise their backline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
