West Ham United are already contemplating signing Axel Disasi in a permanent deal at the end of the season from Chelsea, but there could be some disagreement over the price.
Chelsea have the upper hand when it comes to any transfer discussions with West Ham over Axel Disasi.
For one, West Ham are yet to ensure safety in the Premier League and the loan deal did not include an option or obligation to buy the defender.
We already know Disasi’s stance, and that is that he’s open to a permanent move to the London Stadium, but only if they avoid relegation to the Championship.
Regardless of whether relegation is secured or not, it seems as if the Hammers will try and get themselves a bit of a deal with Chelsea potentially losing money.
West Ham value Axel Disasi way lower than Chelsea paid
According to The Daily Mail, Chelsea could lose out on money for Disasi.
West Ham will look at signing Axel Disasi permanently if, and when, they secure Premier League survival – but they believe his value has fallen considerably since he was bought for £38.8m in 2023.
It is also too soon to say whether Disasi would want to stay.
Now, Chelsea could always drive a hard price if he continues to perform well for the Hammers, especially when you consider the impact Disasi has made defensively.

How much is a fair price for Axel Disasi?
Determining a fair price for Axel Disasi in the current market requires balancing his initial cost with his recent career trajectory. Chelsea paid approximately £38.5 million to bring the Frenchman from Monaco in 2023, but his value has since seen a natural correction following a period in the bomb squad.
Currently on loan at West Ham after a similar stint at Aston Villa, Disasi has revitalised his reputation as a reliable, physical Premier League starter.
While Chelsea would ideally want to recoup more of their original investment, the reality of a 27-year-old defender who was recently frozen out makes a significant profit unlikely. A fee of £25 million represents a fair compromise, reflecting his impact in West Ham’s survival bid/
