Newcastle ‘moves’ for £38m Paul Mitchell, a Chelsea star, is trying to sign a French international for the second time.
As a long-term saga continues to drag on, Paul Mitchell could use his AS Monaco links to help Newcastle.
Newcastle – According to reports, Chelsea defender Axel Disasi has been asked for an “official enquiry” after he was removed from the Blues squad for Enzo Maresca’s first game in charge against defending champions Manchester City.
Following yet another summer of wholesale changes at Stamford Bridge, the five-time France international now faces an uncertain future in West London, after only joining the Blues last summer in a deal worth £38m.
Newcastle are desperate to sign a defender this summer following long-term injuries to leading defenders Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles, who are both expected to miss most of the first half of the season due to serious injuries.
Tosin Adarabioyo was missed earlier in the summer, and the Magpies are currently in talks with Crystal Palace over Marc Guehi for the entirety of August, in a transfer dispute that may continue until the last day of the window. It is understood that Guehi is a top target after his outstanding performances for England at Euro 2024. At 24 years old, he is a leading player in the dressing room, and he should still have his best years ahead of him.
