Aston Villa keen to keep Disasi after loan spell | OneFootball

French defender Axel Disasi is expected to remain at Aston Villa after his loan spell ends, according to Foot Mercato.

Disasi, who joined Chelsea from Monaco for €45 million in 2023, struggled to make an impact with the club.

He struggled to break into the first team, leading to his loan move to Villa in January 2025.

Disasi quickly earned a regular spot in central defence, which is his favoured position.

He has delivered mixed performances but has shown moments of quality. One such moment came in March against Brentford.

Disasi impressed with a solid performance in that game and claimed the man of the match award for his efforts.

Emery is impressed with Disasi’s mentality

Despite facing some struggles, especially in a match against Paris Saint-Germain where he was tested heavily, Villa remain positive.

The coaching staff are impressed with his attitude and work ethic in training sessions.

Emery values the Frenchman’s mental strength and commitment, which could influence Villa’s transfer plans.

The club believe he can offer more with regular minutes and proper guidance, especially in a system that suits his strengths.

Talks have already started with Disasi regarding a possible permanent move at the end of the season.

Villa are expected to initiate talks with Chelsea soon, once the season concludes for both clubs.

Several other Premier League clubs have shown interest in the defender, but Villa hope their head start gives them an advantage.

Disasi may still have a future in the Premier League, but that future now looks more likely to be at Villa Park.
