Failing to cement a place in the Chelsea starting XI, Axel Disasi has been linked to several different clubs for a while now.
For example, there was speculation about a move to Juventus. However, it has now been claimed that Axel Disasi will not be joining Juventus this month.
A switch to Italy could still be a possibility, though, amid rumours of interest from Juventus’ rivals AC Milan.
That could present Chelsea with the chance to sign one of Milan’s players as they look to strengthen their own defence before the transfer window closes in February.
Chelsea should ask for Fikayo Tomori in Axel Disasi swap deal
Everyone knows Todd Boehly and co love a swap deal. It is the only thing they have attempted since arriving at Chelsea.
With that in mind, if Milan really are interested in Disasi, then it makes sense for the Blues to try and do a swap deal that would see Fikayo Tomori return to the club.
Tomori has already been linked to Chelsea, who have issues in central defence right now following injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile.
Tomori has really grown at Milan and now possesses plenty of experience at the highest level. In total, the 27-year-old has made 162 appearances for the Italian giants.
Disasi seems to be heading to the exit door, with Calciomercato reporting that Milan have already spoken to Chelsea about the Frenchman. The Blues, in turn, should enquire about Tomori if they have not done so already.
Paolo Maldini a huge fan of Fikayo Tomori
If Chelsea fans have doubts about Tomori’s ability, the England international has Paolo Maldini’s seal of approval if that counts for anything.
Maldini was Milan’s sporting director at the time Tomori joined the Serie A outfit on an initial loan deal, and before he officially arrived at the club, Maldini told Italian television (via Daily Mail): “He’s perfect for our squad.”
Right now, everything is pointing towards Chelsea waiting until the summer to sign a new centre-back, with another former Blues player, Marc Guehi, likely to be high on their list.
Chelsea wanted to re-sign Guehi before recalling Trevoh Chalobah from his loan at Crystal Palace.
But if Enzo Maresca feels that he needs a new centre-half now, then Tomori is a name that should be considered, especially if Milan are trying to sign Disasi.
