According to Fabrizio Romano, Axel Disasi is one step away from becoming a new player for Aston Villa after reaching a personal agreement with the club. The player's decision, who has attracted interest from other teams in Europe, was influenced by a crucial conversation with coach Unai Emery, who played a decisive role in convincing him that his future was in Birmingham. Now, the transfer depends solely on Chelsea and Villa reaching an economic understanding.

Axel Disasi, one step closer to Aston Villa

Disasi, 26, arrived at Stamford Bridge from Monaco in 2023 for €45 million, with the expectation of becoming a key piece of London's defense. However, his prominence has faded under Enzo Maresca's tenure. Despite starting most games last season, his recent performances have been overshadowed by inconsistency, giving way to young players like Josh Acheampong and other rising defenders within the squad.

For Aston Villa, the potential signing of Disasi represents a solution to the defensive issues that have plagued their season. The departure of Diego Carlos to Fenerbahçe and Tyrone Mings' recurring injuries have left the team with a weakened defense in urgent need of reinforcements. Emery believes that the arrival of the French player, with Premier League experience and a versatile profile, will bring stability and leadership to the club's backline.
