Disasi was linked with a move to Newcastle United this summer, but a deal did not materialise before the transfer deadline on August 30.

The Magpies continue to monitor him closely and there is a possibility that they could return for his services at the turn of the year.

Meanwhile, Badiashile has been a long-term target for AC Milan and the Rossoneri are contemplating an approach for ex-Monaco man.

Chelsea currently have Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill as the regular centre-backs with Tosin Adarabioyo being the immediate back-up.

Disasi and Badiashile are the fourth and fifth-choice options in the squad, and both could leave in January so that the club can re-invest on a signing.

The Blues made a late and unsuccessful attempt to land Benfica's Tomas Araujo last month and they could return for the talented ace in January.
