Chelsea defender Axel Disasi has been linked with a surprise move to Galatasaray, with the probability of a transfer currently rated at 10% according to data from Transfermarkt.
The 27-year-old centre-back, who holds both French and DR Congo nationality, is listed with a market value of €15.00m, a figure that is likely to frame any negotiations between the Premier League club and the Turkish champions. The suggestion of interest from Istanbul comes as Chelsea assess their defensive options and long-term squad plans, while Galatasaray continue to monitor experienced European defenders who could strengthen their Super Lig title push.
Disasi returned to Chelsea from a loan spell at Aston Villa and, with no contract expiry date specified in the available data, there remains the possibility that his situation could evolve towards a free-agent scenario if no extension is agreed in the medium term. For now, however, any switch to Türkiye remains firmly in the realm of speculation rather than advanced talks.
Born in Gonesse on 11 March 1998 and standing at 1.91m, Disasi has built a reputation as a powerful, right-footed central defender. Before his move to Stamford Bridge from AS Monaco in 2023, he progressed through Paris FC’s youth and B teams, then Stade Reims and Reims B, gaining top-flight experience in Ligue 1 before testing himself in the Premier League.
His market value has fluctuated in recent years, peaking at €42.00m during his early Chelsea spell before gradually falling to its current €15.00m assessment. That trajectory may make him a more attainable target for clubs outside Europe’s traditional financial elite, with Galatasaray potentially viewing him as a cost-effective addition with Champions League-level experience.
If a transfer were to materialise, a move to Istanbul could offer Disasi a fresh platform, renewed responsibility at the heart of defence and the chance to reshape the next phase of his career in a different footballing culture.
