“Chelsea already have his replacement for him so he can leave” – The first team player Chelsea are expected to get rid of this month set to leave the club
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!It appears Chelsea’s January transfer window has been quieter than anticipated, with only Trevoh Chalobah returning to the squad so far. While mid-season transfers are typically challenging, the lack of significant movement—both in arrivals and departures—has surprised many.
One notable departure involves Renato Veiga, who is set to join Juventus on loan. However, few others have exited the club, despite expectations that more players might leave to create space for new signings.
Axel Disasi is one player whose future at Chelsea seems uncertain. Reports suggest he has been informed he is surplus to requirements, with interest in his services from clubs like Aston Villa. Journalist Graeme Bailey told The Chelsea Chronicle that a move for Disasi—likely a loan—is highly possible before the window closes. While Chelsea would prefer a permanent sale, a loan move might be necessary to provide Disasi with regular playing time to boost his market value.
Chalobah’s return adds further pressure on Disasi’s position. Chalobah recently earned praise as the player of the match against Wolves and is expected to retain his spot for the upcoming fixture against Manchester City. His leadership qualities have also been highlighted, contrasting with the relatively muted recognition of Disasi’s contributions, even when he has captained the side.
Chelsea fans will be watching closely to see if the club makes any late moves in the transfer market, especially as the window’s closing days often bring unexpected activity.
