Defender Axel Disasi has “opened the door” to a permanent switch to West Ham United this summer, with multiple reports suggesting the centre-back has informed Chelsea he would be willing to leave if the two clubs can reach an agreement.
West Ham are preparing for a defensive rebuild under their new sporting structure. The club is expected to target at least two centre-backs following an inconsistent season at the back and the impending departure of several squad players. Disasi has now emerged as a leading candidate, with his physical profile, Premier League experience, and versatility making him an attractive option.
Reports indicate that initial conversations have taken place between intermediaries, with Disasi expressing that he would welcome the opportunity to become a key figure in West Ham’s new project.
CHELSEA are not believed to be actively pushing him out, but they are open to selling if they can recoup a significant portion of the fee paid to Monaco last year.
Any deal is still at an early stage, and West Ham would need to meet Chelsea’s valuation, expected to be substantial given the defender’s contract length and age. However, with Disasi open to the move and West Ham actively searching for reinforcements, the groundwork appears set for one of the summer’s more intriguing transfer sagas.
Talks are expected to develop further in the coming weeks as both clubs shape their summer strategies.
Right decision on Disasi?
Chelsea still hold the strongest hand. With Disasi under contract and no urgent need to sell, they can dictate the terms. If West Ham fail to meet the asking price, the move simply won’t happen. That’s the reality of the market.
Where Disasi can make a difference is in subtle pressure. If he clearly communicates a desire for a bigger role elsewhere, or indicates he sees his future away from Stamford Bridge, CHELSEA may become more open to compromise—especially if they are looking to streamline the squad.
That said, this doesn’t look like a situation heading toward conflict. Disasi is unlikely to force the issue publicly or refuse to play, which limits his leverage.
Ultimately, he can help the move along—but he can’t make it happen alone. The deal will depend far more on whether West Ham are willing, and able, to meet Chelsea’s demands
