According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the French defender Axel Disasi will remain in Chelsea this season after a late dramatic touch in his transfer situation.
The central rear, which has been the subject of important speculation throughout the summer window, seemed to seal a return to AS Monaco, having already agreed to the French club.
There was also a concrete interest of Bournemouth, but in the end, the circumstances beyond its direct control played the decisive role.
Earlier this week, Disasi would have been leaning towards a distance from Stamford Bridge in search of more coherent minutes and the opportunity to recover in Ligue 1.
Axel Disasi was about to join Monaco
As Monaco had prepared the field for his return, and the negotiations seemed to progress positively. Bournemouth also entered the frame, but the player’s preference was clear, he wanted Monaco.
However, as Tavolieri explains, the agreement began to take place after the own management problems of the Chelsea team. In particular, the blues were forced to reassess their position after the finalization of the loan of striker Nicolas Jackson in Bayern Munich.
This outgoing move completed the latest Chelsea available slit under the FIFA international loan quota. Consequently, the club could no longer afford to sanction another departure abroad without breaking the regulations.
Disasi is now stuck in Chelsea until January
This development has indeed ended the hope of Monaco to re-signal the disasi. Although there was optimism within the French club that the defender’s desire to return would make the agreement possible, the logistical constraints of Chelsea have proven to be insurmountable.
For the player, the situation may not have taken place as he originally wanted, but he now has the opportunity to fight for his place and reaffirm himself at Stamford Bridge.
Although the player is not in Enzo Maresca’s plans for this season, he should be satisfied with a place on the bench and wait for his opportunity.
