Before Chelsea
Axel Disasi developed his career in France with Stade de Reims and then AS Monaco, where he emerged as a commanding centre-back. He made 129 appearances and scored 12 goals for Monaco, drawing attention for his aerial ability, ball-playing skills, and performances in Ligue 1 and European competition.
Chelsea career
2023–24 Season
Disasi signed a six-year contract with Chelsea on 4 August 2023 for a reported £38.5 million. He made an immediate impact, scoring on his Premier League debut in a 1–1 draw with Liverpool. Under Mauricio Pochettino, Disasi was a regular starter: he featured in 44 matches, tallied 3 goals, excelled defensively—including a 16-clearance, Man of the Match display against Manchester City—and quickly became a defensive leader in a team undergoing transitional challenges.
2024–25 Season
Disasi began the season as part of the defensive core under head coach Enzo Maresca and Chelsea entered the Club World Cup squad planning around him. However, competition for places intensified, and his league starts dropped significantly. In January 2025 he joined Aston Villa on loan, making 10 Premier League appearances to boost game time and contribute to Villa's European push, though he was not included in Chelsea’s Club World Cup squad.
