26yo star expected to leave Chelsea this winter

Chelsea defender Axel Disasi is expected to leave the club during the winter transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The 26-year-old has been a fringe player for the Blues this term and he has been linked with an exit for some period of time.

Romano now reports that Disasi won't be involved in Tuesday's Premier League encounter against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.

The centre-back has been given permission to secure a new challenge and he is expected to head for the exit door before the deadline.

Juventus showed interest in the former Monaco man earlier this month and they could step up their pursuit in the next few days.

Apart from Disasi, Renato Veiga is also poised to leave the Blues.

He has agreed personal terms with Borussia Dortmund and talks are underway between the clubs over the transfer package.

Veiga has his sights on playing as a central defender instead of a left-back. Dortmund have provided him assurances over the same.
