Chelsea wanted to do business with Barcelona in the last transfer window but were unable to.<\/p>\n

Fermin Lopez was a key target for Chelsea<\/a>, but the attacking midfielder ended up staying at the Spotify Camp Nou.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Blues<\/a> went on to sign Facundo Buonanotte, who has not made much of an impact since arriving from Brighton & Hove Albion.<\/p>\n

SCENARIO: You are one of Chelsea\u2019s sporting directors and Todd Boehly has given you \u00a360m to spend in January. Who are you signing? <\/p>\n

Your potential shortlist could include:<\/p>\n

While Chelsea and Barcelona did not do any business with each other in the summer, there could be a transaction between the two clubs in January.<\/p>\n

According to Sport<\/a>, Axel Disasi<\/a> has been offered to Barcelona, and it looks like a move to the Catalan side is something that would interest the defender.<\/p>\n

Sport\u2019s report claims that AC Milan are keen on Disasi but that he is \u201cdetermined\u201d to wait and see if Barcelona come in for him.<\/p>\n

Disasi has trained with the Chelsea first team<\/a> this season, but Enzo Maresca<\/a> has not handed him any minutes.<\/p>\n

That is unlikely to change, as Chelsea currently have a wealth of centre-back options. The jury is still out on several of them, though.<\/p>\n

Is there a way back for Axel Disasi at Chelsea? <\/p>\n

Or do the Blues just need to cut their losses? \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n

If Hansi Flick is not keen on Disasi, there could be other options for the 27-year-old.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, it was reported that West Ham United are interested in signing Disasi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman was also linked with a move to the Hammers in the summer, so the London Stadium really could be a potential destination for him.<\/p>\n

As well as West Ham, Borussia Dortmund are also thought to be keen on Disasi<\/a>. They recently signed Aaron Anselmino from Chelsea on loan, and the Argentine is doing well there.<\/p>\n

Whether it is Dortmund, West Ham or Barcelona, Disasi has to join another club in the new year. The France international is a good defender who is just wasting away in west London.<\/p>\n

A transfer could keep his World Cup dream alive, though at this stage, it would be a surprise if he went to the tournament next summer.<\/p>\n
