Aston Villa appear to be closing in on the signing of Benoît Disasi, with the Premier League club reportedly overtaking interest from Italian side Atalanta.
Atalanta had marked Disasi as a key target, but recent developments suggest that their ambitions have been thwarted.
Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Chelsea have now entered the race and even surpassed other interests in securing Disasi’s services.
“The Premier League clubs are moving fast, and Villa seem to be in a strong position,” Romano noted in his latest updates.
This development signifies a heated competition among English clubs, with Disasi’s impressive performances attracting considerable attention.
While Chelsea’s interest cannot be underestimated, Aston Villa remain optimistic about finalising a deal with the French defender.
