Crystal Palace set sights on Disasi

Crystal Palace have made Axel Disasi their priority defensive target and have already opened talks with Chelsea, according to journalist Fabrice Hawkins. The 28-year-old French center-back is seen as the replacement for Maxence Lacroix, who left Palace this summer. The two clubs are in discussions over a potential deal, while several Serie A sides are also keeping a close eye on the situation. Disasi spent the second half of the 2025/26 season on loan at West Ham. His current contract with Chelsea runs until the summer of 2029.
