Earlier today we were writing about Chelsea’s situation defensively. With Maxence Lacroix now signed, there are ten central defenders on the books. The Blues need to get moving, and the good news is that things could move pretty fast now.
With five of them likely to stick around in Xabi Alonso’s squad and two potentially going on loan, three are left to be sold. Trevoh Chalobah is on the verge of joining Como, leaving Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi as the most likely to make permanent moves away.
Palace in talks with Chelsea over Disasi loan
Their moves could come soon – Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport is reporting that Crystal Palace have submitted a loan offer (including an obligation to buy) for Axel Disasi.
There are “ongoing” negotiations between Disasi and Palace, and a meeting has taken place with the player’s representatives. This all seems lined up nicely – but we’ve said that about Disasi moves before.
In other news…
Alonso’s earlier comments made it clear he only wanted at most five defenders in his first team squad – he even said four was possible.
Chelsea need to shift Marc Guiu – along with a few other players from their squad. Their asking price for the striker isn’t going to help.
