The south London club confirmed the temporary transfer of the 25-year-old centre-back on Wednesday, adding depth to their defensive options for the upcoming season. Disasi, who joined Chelsea from AS Monaco in 2023, becomes Palace's latest addition in a busy transfer window.
The French international brings Premier League experience to Selhurst Park, having made appearances for the Blues since his move to Stamford Bridge. His arrival addresses Palace's need for additional defensive cover as manager Oliver Glasner looks to build on the team's previous campaign.
The loan deal represents a strategic move for both clubs, allowing Disasi regular playing time while providing Palace with quality competition in their defence. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed by either party.
Disasi's addition comes as Palace continue preparations for their next league fixtures, with the squad now boosted by the defender's availability for selection in upcoming matches.
