Chelsea defender Axel Disasi is being linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund, with the Bundesliga club reportedly considering the 27-year-old as a potential reinforcement at centre-back.
Data from Transfermarkt lists the probability of a switch from Stamford Bridge to Dortmund at 28%, underlining that talks remain at a speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation. Disasi is currently valued at €18.00m, a figure that would make him a relatively affordable target for the German side compared with some Premier League alternatives.
The France/DR Congo dual national returned to Chelsea from a loan spell at Aston Villa at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, having briefly headed to Villa Park on a temporary deal in February 2025. His fluctuating market value — peaking at €42.00m shortly after his move from Monaco to Chelsea in late 2023 before dropping to its current €18.00m — reflects an inconsistent period in west London and during his time in Birmingham.
No contract expiry date is listed in the available data, leaving open the possibility that Chelsea could look to cash in before his value depreciates further, or, if no agreement is found, risk edging towards a situation where Disasi becomes a free agent. Dortmund, who have consistently tapped into the Premier League market, would see the 1.91m right-footed centre-back as a physically imposing option with experience in both Ligue 1 and the Premier League.
Disasi’s career path has taken him from Paris FC’s youth and B sides to Stade Reims, then AS Monaco, before his high-profile move to Chelsea. His progression, including a sharp rise in valuation during his Reims and Monaco years, has long marked him out as a defender with significant potential.
Should Dortmund decide to act on their reported interest, a move to the Bundesliga could offer Disasi the reset he needs and a fresh platform to rebuild his reputation at the top level of European football.
