Overview

• Multiple outlets cite BILD in reporting that Borussia Dortmund have added Axel Disasi to their shortlist as they assess options at centre-back.
• Disasi has been frozen out under Enzo Maresca and is training away from Chelsea’s main group alongside Raheem Sterling.
• Coverage says Chelsea are open to proposals and that a loan is viewed as unlikely in January because the club has reached its foreign loan limit.
• Reports frame Disasi as a potential successor if Nico Schlotterbeck’s future remains unresolved, with his contract running to 2027 and extension talks in doubt.
• The 27-year-old joined Chelsea from Monaco in 2023 for around €45m, made 44 appearances in his first season, spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, and previously signaled a preference for a Monaco return.
