Disasi targeted by Roma, but Chelsea want €20m for defender

Roma are in contact with Chelsea and defender Axel Disasi, according to Footmercato in France but the asking price is €20m.

It has been a very frustrating summer for the Giallorossi, because despite qualifying for the Champions League, they have been outbid for a series of targets when seemingly close to a deal.

After the irritation over losing West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville to Al-Hilal, they are back in talks with a Premier League club.

Footmercato claim that they are in negotiations with both Chelsea and the entourage representing Disasi to see if they can progress any further.

The 28-year-old spent the last six months on loan with West Ham, so was a teammate of Summerville when they were relegated from the Premier League.

Considering Chelsea bought Disasi from AS Monaco for €45m in the summer of 2023, they are asking for €20m to make a sale.

With a contract until June 2029, Roma are hoping to get him on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.

He had been very close to Serie A in January for Milan, but the deal was abandoned.
