West Ham United are weighing up the possibility of signing Axel Disasi on a permanent basis, although several factors remain unresolved.
According to reporting from the Daily Mail, the Hammers admire the defender’s impact since arriving in January, yet a full transfer is far from guaranteed.
The situation reflects both footballing and financial considerations.
West Ham’s Premier League status remains uncertain, while Chelsea’s expectations for a transfer fee have not yet been clarified.
Any long term decision over Disasi appears closely tied to West Ham’s league position.
As noted in the Daily Mail report, the club intend to explore a permanent move “if and when they secure Premier League survival.”
That caveat matters. The Hammers currently sit 18th in the table, although recent performances have offered encouragement.
Disasi’s presence has coincided with improved defensive stability.
West Ham have lost only one of the five league matches he has started since joining the club on loan. Those results have helped create a sense of cautious optimism around the London Stadium.
For a side navigating a tense relegation battle, the defender’s consistency has quickly become valuable.
While West Ham rate Disasi highly, financial realities will shape negotiations. The Daily Mail reports that club sources believe his value has “fallen considerably since he was bought for £38.8million from Monaco in 2023.”
That price is considered unrealistic from West Ham’s perspective.
Hammers officials are understood to admire the player’s qualities but are reluctant to approach the figure originally paid by Chelsea.
Any potential deal would likely require a more flexible valuation from the Stamford Bridge hierarchy.
Another factor is the interest Disasi could attract elsewhere.
European clubs are expected to monitor his form during the closing months of the season, particularly if Chelsea signal that the defender is available for transfer.
