Wantaway Chelsea star may get wish with Lyon

Key Highlights

• Despite his long-term deal running until 2029, he has been sidelined throughout the current campaign, falling out of favour and training away from the first-team picture.
• That situation has not gone unnoticed across Europe, and Lyon are one of several clubs exploring an opportunity to prise the 27-year-old away from Stamford Bridge. Initial contact has been made in recent days, with Lyon enquiring about a potential loan for the remainder of the season.
• The structure is attractive from their perspective: minimal long-term risk, immediate cover during a crucial mid-season stretch, and the chance to revive a player whose profile, physique and experience are well aligned with Fonseca’s system. Chelsea, however, are weighing up their options.
• While a loan is possible, the London side are believed to be open to discussing permanent offers should a suitable proposal emerge.
• Other suitors are also monitoring Disasi’s situation, increasing the likelihood of transfer movement as January approaches.
