Axel Disasi: Chelsea centre-back linked with Türkiye giants Galatasaray

Chelsea defender Axel Disasi is being linked with a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray, with the France/DR Congo centre-back reportedly attracting interest as his Chelsea future remains under scrutiny.

Transfermarkt lists the 27-year-old’s current market value at €15.00m, a figure that is likely to frame early discussions over any potential deal between the Premier League club and the Süper Lig side. The rumour, logged on 12 December 2025, does not carry a clear probability rating, leaving the likelihood of a move labelled only as “?”.

Disasi, who stands at 1.91m and prefers his right foot, rejoined Chelsea from a loan spell at Aston Villa earlier in 2025 and is again on the radar of clubs seeking a physically dominant centre-back. With no contract expiry detailed in the available data, there remains the possibility that his status could evolve in a way that opens the door to a move, including the scenario of becoming a free agent if terms are not renewed or clarified.

Born in Gonesse on 11 March 1998, Disasi has taken a steady route through European football. After emerging at Paris FC’s youth and B teams, he moved to Stade Reims, then to Monaco in 2020, before Chelsea brought him to the Premier League in 2023. His market value peaked at €42m during his early Chelsea spell, but has gradually declined to €15m as of December 2025, reflecting changing form and circumstances rather than a lack of top-level experience.

Internationally eligible for both France and DR Congo, and tested in Ligue 1 and the Premier League, Disasi would offer Galatasaray a defender familiar with high-intensity, tactically demanding environments. Should the move materialise, a switch to Istanbul could give him a fresh platform to rebuild his value and reshape the next phase of his career.
