Axel Disasi, a defender for Monaco, has recently attracted the attention of scouts from Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City, according to 90min.
The three Premier League juggernauts are all anticipated to make defense changes this summer and have been keeping an eye on a wide range of potential acquisitions as they try to narrow down their shortlists for center-backs.
Reports have indicated that scouts from all three organizations have recently observed Disasi. The 25-year-old, who represented France in three matches at the 2022 World Cup, has long been hailed as a future star in Ligue 1 and has been a crucial component of a Monaco team that is fighting to qualify for the Champions League.
Although it is believed that Disasi impressed Chelsea, City, and United, there is no guarantee that any of the three clubs will pursue him further at this time. Their interest in the defender is only beginning.
Disasi is also receiving a lot of attention from clubs in mainland Europe; it is known that these clubs have lately seen the Frenchman in both Germany and Italy.
Although they are conscious they will need to let go of one of their existing group of defenders first, United hopes to strengthen at center-back this summer. Harry Maguire is free to leave Old Trafford this summer, according to 90min.
As they get ready for the departure of Aymeric Laporte, City on the other side of Manchester are rumored to be pursuing a deal for RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol, however they may see Disasi as a more affordable option.
Chelsea is reportedly interested in a number of center-backs as they get ready for the summer, when the futures of Cesar Azpilicueta, Kalidou Koulibaly, Trevoh Chalobah, and Marc Cucurella will all be in doubt. Chelsea is also a fan of Gvardiol.
In an effort to fight off interest from both City and Liverpool, the Blues do have Levi Colwill returning from his loan with Brighton. As 90min first revealed back in March, the current intention is to give the academy graduate a new long-term contract and integrate him into the first squad.
