Chelsea set asking price to offload Axel Disasi

Chelsea have set their asking price for defender Axel Disasi amid interest from multiple Serie A clubs, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

Disasi was out of favour with the Blues during the first half of last season. He spent the remainder of the campaign on loan at West Ham United.

The French centre-back was hugely impressive for the Hammers in the season run-in, but could not help them avoid relegation from the Premier League.

As a result, Disasi turned down the opportunity to join West Ham permanently, but he is still expected to leave the Blues for good.

Jacobs claim that Roma and AC Milan are exploring a move for the former Monaco man, but the Blues are unlikely to let him go on the cheap.

West Ham were prepared to pay around £25m for a permanent transfer, and the Blues are poised to demand a similar fee to sanction his sale.

Alongside Disasi, Benoit Badiashile could also head for the exit door.
