Team newspaper: Villarreal will ask for a lease on Di Sasi today, but Chelsea wants to sell it permanently

According to the "Team" report, Villarreal will seek to rent Chelsea defender Di Sasi.

Disassi was loaned to Aston Villa in the second half of last season and he is not expected to stay at Chelsea this season. Saudi club Niom is approaching Chelsea senior executives, hoping to bring in the French central defender, but they will face competition.

Villarreal plans to submit a loan offer this Tuesday to start negotiations with Chelsea, but Chelsea prefers to sell him directly. The contract between Di Sasi and Chelsea, 27, is valid until 2029.

According to the "Team News", Juventus and Newcastle have learned about the situation of Di Sasi, but have not yet made further progress.

The French international played 13 official games for Chelsea in the first half of last season. After joining Villa on loan in the middle of the season, he played 10 games for Villa, including 3 Champions League games.
