Lyon in Talks to Take Chelsea’s Axel Disasi on January Loan

The out-of-favour defender has been confined to the development squad after Enzo Maresca ruled out a first-team return.

Overview

French outlet L’Equipe, as relayed by Yahoo Sports, reports discussions for a loan until the end of the season.
Both Chelsea and Disasi are described as open to the switch, though Lyon could hesitate if they require an immediate starter.
Disasi continues to train away from Chelsea’s senior group and has been playing with the under‑21s to maintain fitness.
Maresca has repeatedly said there is no way back for the 27-year-old into his first-team plans.
The Athletic’s reporting, cited by Yahoo, says Nottingham Forest’s Murillo is no longer a Chelsea target and a January centre-back signing appears unlikely, with Aaron Anselmino and Mamadou Sarr viewed as potential summer additions.
