Chelsea centre-back Axel Disasi (27) is of interest to a handful of European clubs, according to a report from RMC SportThe France international has been deemed surplus to requirements by Enzo Maresca. Disasi spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa. Unai Emery’s Villans have decided against making the former Monaco centre-back’s move at Villa Park a permanent one. Disasi is not even included in the Blues’ profiles on Chelsea’s website.

RMC Sport understands that Villarreal and Juventus FC have made initial enquiries over the France international. Disasi has made clear he would rather remain in the Premier League, if the opportunity presented itself. The report adds that Newcastle United are monitoring Disasi’s situation. Newcastle would reportedly not hesitate to sign a centre-back, given the added fixtures of at least eight Champions League games, and that Disasi is among the Magpies’ targets.
