Chelsea Defender Axel Disasi Linked With Juventus Move

Doing the January transfer window business early, Juventus have reportedly set their sights on Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as a potential replacement for the injured Gleison Bremer. Bremer, who struggled with an ACL injury for most of the 2024-25 season, has now suffered a torn meniscus in the same knee, requiring another surgery and leaving him sidelined for several months. In Bremer’s absence, Juventus relied on Daniele Rugani and Lloyd Kelly as their centre-back pairing, highlighting the need to strengthen their defence.

Local outlet JuveLive has reported that Disasi is being considered on a loan deal with an option to buy, seen as a “respectable replacement” for Bremer. Disasi, 27, has struggled at Chelsea under Enzo Maresca, particularly after returning from a loan spell at Aston Villa last season. Despite interest from European clubs, he has been unable to secure a move and, along with Raheem Sterling, has been training away from Chelsea’s first team.
