Inside, Chelsea's iron defender Dissasi, who has been benched in London, has been snapped up by Juventus and the German powerhouse. Two European giants have extended the olive branch, Di Sassi's career direction, seems to be covered in a layer of fog.
A year and a half since setting foot in London, Di Sassi may have started packing his bags and bidding farewell to Stamford Bridge. The scarcity of playing opportunities has focused the eyes of other European giants on the 26-year-old French center-back. This season, under Maresca, he has only been able to show his face in the UEFA Europa League, while he has rarely been seen in the Premier League.
Since the start of August, Di Sassi has made only three Premier League appearances, a stark contrast to his 31 appearances last season. At Chelsea, he seems to have hit a bottleneck in his career and is in dire need of finding another stage to prove himself.
Juve and the German powerhouse have reportedly thrown in the towel on Di Sassi. Despite being under contract with Chelsea until June 2029, Di Sassi's future with the Blues appears to be in limbo. Juve's need for a center back position has surged after Bremer's injury. Although Motta has made tactical adjustments, Kalulu remains a favorite. Di Sassi could be a possible target for the Serie A giants to join forces with Kalulu to create an all-French center back defense.
Joining Juve or a German club would mean a fresh start for Di Sassi. He is expected to get more appearances and show his talent at a higher level. However, whether Chelsea is willing to let go of this potential player, and whether Di Sassi is willing to leave the familiar London, all of this is still unknown.
