Chelsea negotiates with Bournemouth on loan transfer

On the list of purging Stamford Bridge, the name of French central defender Axel DiSassi is being circled. According to several authoritative journalists such as Sacha Tavolieri and Ben Jacobs, Chelsea and Bournemouth have entered into substantial negotiations on Di Sasi's transfer. The current plan is to rent additional buyout options, but the Blues prefer to sell the defender who was introduced from Monaco in 2023 for £38.5 million. During his loan to Aston Villa in the second half of last season, Disasi had only 10 appearances. Opta data showed that his average number of interceptions per game fell from 1.7 in Monaco to 0.9, and Whoscored score was hovering at 6.3 points for a long time - all of this pointed to his adaptation dilemma in the Premier League. The demand for the

Cherry Legion is equally urgent. This summer, he lost two core central defenders: Dean Huyson transfers to Real Madrid, and Ilia Zabarni joins Paris Saint-Germain. Although he had just signed Baford Diakit from Lille for a basic transfer fee of £30.3 million, coach Andney Ilaura still insisted on strengthening a central defender - this persistence is very similar to Anfield's decision-making logic that he was desperate for Van Dijk back then. Di Sasi's physical advantage (190cm tall, 68% success rate) has a theoretical fit with Ilaura's tactic of emphasizing high-level oppression, but his turn speed defect (4.2 meters per second is lower than the average Premier League centre-back) may be fully exposed in the radical defensive system on the South Coast.

This transaction is essentially a game about risk transfer. Chelsea tried to stop the investment mistakes three years ago, while Bournemouth bets that Elaura's coaching staff could activate the potential of the dormant DiSassi. It is worth noting that the "different plans" involved in the negotiation reflect a new normal in the current Premier League transfer market: the FFP rules force clubs to design trading structures more flexibly. Just as Di Sasi, who averaged 2.1 steals per game during Monaco, needed to prove himself again, small and medium-sized clubs must also find a value depression in the talent screening mechanism of the giants - this is not only survival wisdom, but also a cruel story in the capital game.
