Monaco wanted to have a degree of certainty over a replacement before sanctioning a move for Disasi. The club agreed a deal with Southampton for defender Mohammed Salisu over the weekend.
He is set to become Chelsea’s third major signing of the summer with forwards Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkuku having joined from Villarreal and RB Leipzig respectively.
