Lyon have contacted Chelsea about a January loan for Axel Disasi to cover AFCON absences.

Overview

  • L’Équipe, via CaughtOffside, reports Lyon have made formal contact to take Disasi on a short-term loan as Clinton Mata and Moussa Niakhaté depart for the Africa Cup of Nations.
  • Chelsea are open to proposals, though negotiations hinge on wage-sharing and whether any loan includes a purchase option.
  • Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle United are said to be assessing permanent transfers, while Juventus, West Ham and Galatasaray are monitoring the situation.
  • Disasi has recently featured for Chelsea’s U21s to rebuild match fitness ahead of the January window.
