Chelsea’s asking price for wantaway centre-back Axel Disasi has been revealed.
The 28-year-old Frenchman has not made a first-team appearance for Chelsea since enjoying a 14-minute cameo against Wolves in January 2025. He has since spent time on loan at Aston Villa and West Ham and made a handful of PL2 appearances, having been banished to the so-called bomb squad by Enzo Maresca.

His future is once again up in the air after his six-month spell at West Ham ended with relegation in May. He has not reported to Cobham for pre-season training and does not appear to be in Xabi Alonso’s plans for the coming campaign.
Standard Sport understands Chelsea have set their asking price for Disasi at £25m as they look to find him a new club.
Disasi impressed in his loan spell at West Ham despite ultimately failing to keep the club in the top flight, and Standard Sport has previously reported the Irons were interested in making his stay permanent had they avoided the drop.
That interest remained even after they were relegated to the Championship, but Disasi has no interest in playing in the second tier. He hopes instead to find himself a new club in the Premier League or overseas.
Disasi, who has spent the summer training in Marrakech, signed for Chelsea from Monaco in 2023 in a deal worth £38.8m. He has since made 61 appearances for the club, contributing to Club World Cup and Conference League triumphs.
It is set to be another summer of high turnover at Chelsea. Morgan Rogers and Marco Palestra have already come through the door alongside the likes of Emanuel Emegha and Geovany Quenda. Winger Alejandro Garnacho, meanwhile, is set to depart on a season-long loan to Aston Villa, with a conditional obligation to buy.
