BOURNEMOUTH, UK – Bournemouth are now in advanced talks with Chelsea to secure the signing of defender Axel Disasi.

The club has made official, direct contact with Chelsea and has made the French international a clear top target as they look to strengthen their backline for the new season.
Negotiations between the two clubs are currently underway to finalize the transfer formula.
The discussions are centered on agreeing on a fee and the structure of the deal, with Bournemouth confident that they can find a solution that satisfies both parties.
The 27-year-old central defender arrived at Chelsea last summer and has found himself in a competitive position for playing time.
A move to Bournemouth would offer him a significant opportunity to be a primary starter and a leader at the heart of their defense.
His experience and physical presence would be a major asset for the Cherries.
For Bournemouth, the acquisition of a player of Disasi’s caliber would be a major statement of intent, showcasing their ambition in the transfer market.
For Chelsea, the sale would help to trim their squad and provide a healthy financial return on a player who is currently not a first-choice starter.
