# Talks scheduled over permanent move for West Ham loanee

West Ham United are in the midst of a tight fight to stay in the Premier League this season. Once seven points adrift, [the Hammers are now only in the relegation zone on goals difference](https://readwestham.com/2026/03/16/west-ham-survival-situation-gameweek-30/), and have the changes they made at the start of 2026 to thanks for their journey towards survival.

Whilst [Paco Jemez](https://readwestham.com/2026/03/19/paco-jemez-west-ham-dressing-room-morale/) is the one that oversaw the changes, [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/)‘s biggest playing addition has been the loan signing of [Axel Disasi](https://readwestham.com/2026/03/05/opinion-axel-disasi-permanent-move/). The disregarded [Chelsea](https://readchelsea.com/) defender has played every single minute of Premier League football since joining the club. Being a key part of the defensive revolution within the team.

According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-negotiations-scheduled-for-permanent-axel-disasi-transfer-from-chelsea/), [West Ham](https://whufc.com/en) have now set up talks with Chelsea over a permanent move for the 28-year-old. The Blues are said to want to recoup as much of the £38m they paid for Disasi in 2023, which is a price tag that the Hammers will not pay.

Any deal is also conditional on if the Iron’s remain in the Premier League or not. With a price tag being too high for a Championship club and the player’s desire to return to the French national team before the end of his career.

The loan fee for [Disasi](https://readwestham.com/2026/03/13/axel-disasi-confident-west-ham-survival/) is reportedly around £1.68m, in which West Ham cover all the player’s wages. The Irons are hoping the fee will help them bring down a transfer cost. [With the Hammers need to change things financially this summer](https://readwestham.com/2026/03/03/west-ham-accounts-2024-25/), staying up will be pivotal to move funds around and bring in the Frenchman permanently.

## Axel Disasi’s West Ham redemption

Since being left in the cold by former manager Enzo Maresca, life in football hasn’t been easy for Disasi. A loan spell with [Aston Villa](https://readwestham.com/2026/03/19/head-to-head-aston-villa-vs-west-ham/), where he did not manage much football. The move failed to give him a lifeline and sent him back to exile at Chelsea.

This season, things have changed, his temporary move to [Nuno Espirito Santo’s West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2026/03/15/nuno-espirito-santo-on-west-ham-draw-manchester-city/) has given him a new lease of life.

A huge part of the defensive unit with [Konstantinos Mavropanos](https://readwestham.com/2026/03/17/west-ham-konstantinos-mavropanos-motd-team-of-the-week/), [Jean-Clair Todibo](https://readwestham.com/2026/03/05/jean-clair-todibo-west-ham-fulham-win/) and [Mads Hermansen](https://readwestham.com/2026/03/18/west-ham-international-call-ups-march/). The group have amassed three clean sheets in the seven Premier League games Disasi has featured in.

In his short time with the Hammers, Disasi is winning 60% of his duels per 90. Blocking 1 shot per 90. Winning 63.6% of his aerial duels and making 2.61 accurate long balls per 90. The impact of the 28-year-old cannot be understated at West Ham.

There’s a long way to go between now and safety for the Hammers, but when it’s all said and done, they will hope Disasi can join the club for the future.
