Insiders confirm that Chelsea is open to discussing Disasi’s potential move to Milan as the January window approaches.

Even though Milan only has Serie A commitments this season, they are still looking to bring in a central defender next month.
Milan Pauses Disasi Discussions

Disasi has been a topic of discussion for some time, and Chelsea is prepared to let him go. The relationship between Chelsea and Milan remains strong, despite previous conflicts regarding the Mike Maignan situation.
Currently, the Rossoneri are not in a hurry. Club executives would rather take their time to evaluate other center-back options, including Borussia Dortmund’s Niklas Sule, before making a conclusive decision. As is often the case, Milan’s primary challenge lies in achieving a balance between Allegri’s needs and the club’s strategic and financial objectives.
