Axel Disasi makes decision on Chelsea future amid Juventus transfer speculation

Premier League

Chelsea

Fulham

Serie A

Juventus

Fiorentina

<p>Disasi was a regular starter for the Blues following his arrival from Monaco in 2023, but he has fallen out of favour since Maresca's appointment in the summer. The 26-year-old has played only three times in the Premier League this season, with Maresca instead using him more frequently, and even giving him the captain's armband, in the Conference League.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The centre-back's struggles have sparked reports of a possible January transfer, with <a href="https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/transferts/mercato-en-manque-de-temps-de-jeu-a-chelsea-disasi-interesse-deux-cadors-europeens_AV-202412190742.html" target="_blank"><em>RMC Sport</em></a> reporting this week that Juventus and an unnamed Bundesliga side are interested in him, but <a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c4g2w9dpjvjo" target="_blank"><em>BBC Sport</em></a> says he is happy at Stamford Bridge and does not want to leave just yet. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>With Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana both out injured, Maresca will not tell the club to sell the Frenchman, the report adds, meaning he could be given another chance to impress in the Premier League in the coming weeks.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Disasi will likely be given a place on the bench when the London side travel to Merseyside to take on Everton in the league on Sunday, which will be followed by a clash with Fulham on December 26.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
