Chelsea defender Axel Disasi has been offered to Barcelona for the January transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist has claimed that Disasi will be able to leave Chelsea only on a permanent deal, not on a temporary basis.

Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Disasi has been offered to Barcelona, but the only way is a permanent transfer. 

“Disasi cannot leave Chelsea on a loan deal. It can only be a permanent transfer.

“And so let’s see if Barcelona will decide to proceed with this kind of option, or will they look for a different one because Disasi is still on a big salary at Chelsea, even if he’s out of the squad. 

“For Disasi, there is also Roma, Olympique Lyon and Paris FC interested in the player. He’s been offered, but at the moment, Barcelona have not proceeded so far.”
