Axel Disasi: Chelsea centre-back linked with Barcelona move in Spain

Chelsea defender Axel Disasi is being linked with a move to Barcelona, with the La Liga club reportedly monitoring the 27-year-old centre-back’s situation at Stamford Bridge.

Data from transfer specialists indicates Barcelona have emerged as a potential destination for the France/DR Congo dual-national, who is currently listed with a market value of €15.00m. The rumour, logged on 23 December 2025, carries an unspecified probability, underlining that talks are at a speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation.

Disasi, whose contract details at Chelsea are not specified in the available data, could see his future complicated by the prospect of becoming a free agent if no new agreement is reached. That scenario may make him an attractive, potentially low-cost defensive option for Barcelona as they continue to reshape their squad under financial constraints.

The centre-back returned to Chelsea in June 2025 after a loan spell at Aston Villa, where he had moved in February 2025 on a temporary deal with a loan fee involved. His market value has steadily declined from €40.00m shortly after his arrival from Monaco in 2023 to the current €15.00m, suggesting Chelsea may be open to listening to offers if they decide to remodel their defence.

Born in Gonesse on 11 March 1998 and standing at 1.91m, Disasi has built his reputation in both Ligue 1 and the Premier League, progressing from Paris FC’s youth and B sides to Stade Reims, then AS Monaco before his transfer to Chelsea. His experience across France’s top flight and England’s Premier League, combined with his physical profile and right-footed versatility in central defence, fits the type of defender often targeted by Barcelona in recent years.

Should the move materialise, a switch from the Premier League to La Liga would mark a new chapter in Disasi’s career and offer him the chance to re-establish his value and reputation on one of European football’s biggest stages.
