Potential Newcastle Move for Axel Disasi…
Newcastle is gearing up for a dramatic transfer tightrope walk as they cast their eyes on Chelsea’s defender Axel Disasi before the market slams shut. Naturally, this has more tension than a hamster navigating a UFC ring! Though he’s likely on his way out of Stamford Bridge, Newcastle is not the lone ranger in this quest. Teams like Napoli in Serie A and Wolves from the Premier League are also in the mix. Reports suggest Chelsea wants around £30 million ($40.6 million) for Disasi, who found himself with Aston Villa last season but was barely warming the bench under Unai Emery.
Time’s ticking like a pizza in a fast-food joint for Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, as Champions League soccer beckons this season. Despite his recent seat-warming tendency, Disasi’s prowess once earned him the comparison to Chelsea legend John Terry by Jamie Carragher after a stellar performance against Manchester City. It’s like being told you’re just as good as the great-great-great-grandparent of defense! Carragher showered praises, labeling it as one of the best defensive displays, like seeing a dinosaur riding a skateboard—both unexpected and wildly impressive.
