Chelsea could be preparing to accept a significant loss on one of their defenders, with Roma making contact over a possible summer transfer. A move to Italy could offer the 28-year-old a fresh start and regular first-team football.<\/p>\n Roma are strengthening ahead of a Champions League campaign and need experienced defenders capable of operating in different systems.<\/p>\n Discussions remain at an early stage, with no formal offer or agreement announced.<\/p>\n However, Chelsea\u2019s willingness to negotiate for around \u20ac20 million suggests a permanent departure is now a realistic possibility.<\/p>\n According to Foot Mercato, Roma have contacted both Chelsea and Disasi\u2019s representatives to gather information about a potential transfer.<\/p>\n The Blues are reportedly prepared to let the France international leave for approximately \u20ac20 million.<\/p>\n Disasi remains under contract until June 2029, meaning Chelsea are not being pressured into selling by an expiring agreement.<\/p>\n However, accepting \u20ac20 million would still represent a substantial loss on the roughly \u20ac45 million they paid Monaco in 2023.<\/p>\n Roma\u2019s interest provides Chelsea with a possible solution, but the Italian side may still attempt to negotiate a lower guaranteed payment or a deal containing performance-related bonuses.<\/p>\n A separate talkSPORT report states that AC Milan are also interested, while Chelsea are exploring defensive changes that could include signing Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix.<\/p>\n From Roma\u2019s perspective, Disasi offers physical strength, Premier League experience and the flexibility to play in either a back three or a traditional central-defensive partnership.<\/p>\n Serie A may also suit a defender whose strongest qualities are his power and ability to compete in direct battles.<\/p>\n Chelsea should accept a reasonable permanent offer rather than approve another temporary move.<\/p>\n Keeping a player without a clear role would only reduce his value further and create unnecessary congestion in the squad.<\/p>\n Selling for \u20ac20 million would confirm that the original transfer did not work as planned, but recognising that quickly is better than protecting an outdated valuation.<\/p>\n Roma could secure an experienced defender at a manageable price, while Chelsea would clear wages and create room for a centre-back better suited to Alonso\u2019s system.<\/p>\n Medical today: Chelsea to complete statement signing of French star for just \u00a352m <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chelsea could be preparing to accept a significant loss on one of their defenders, with…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16894,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
