Fiorentina are ready to approach Chelsea to ask after the availability of defender Axel Disasi, claim Sky Sport Italia.

The Viola have been very active on the January transfer market, as they try to strengthen the squad that is stuck in the relegation zone of the Serie A table.

They already brought in Jack Harrison, Manor Solomon, Marco Brescianini and Giovanni Fabbian, but are now seeking reinforcements in defence.

According to Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio, their next target is going to be Chelsea defender Disasi.

The centre-back turns 28 in March and has been linked with numerous different clubs in recent weeks, including Milan, Roma, Barcelona, Galatasaray, West Ham and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

He has not played a single competitive appearance for Chelsea’s senior squad this season, since returning from his loan spell at Aston Villa.

It is early days for Disasi, as more will be known following talks on Wednesday when Chelsea directors are in Italy for their Champions League clash with Napoli.
