Chelsea’s Axel Disasi Draws January Interest as Lyon Hold Talks and Newcastle Are Linked

Lyon are weighing a short-term loan to cover AFCON absences despite concerns about his match sharpness.

Overview

  • L’Equipe reports that Lyon have discussed a loan with Chelsea for Axel Disasi running to the end of the season.
  • Lyon remain cautious because Disasi has not played a senior minute this season and has been working away from the first team with development sides.
  • Chelsea are prepared to move the defender in January and, according to reports, are unlikely to demand a premium fee.
  • Sunday reporting indicates broader interest, with Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Newcastle United, West Ham and Galatasaray monitoring a possible deal.
  • Lyon’s urgency stems from the AFCON departures of Clinton Mata and Moussa Niakhaté, with any agreement potentially shaped by wage sharing and a purchase option.
