Torino is starting to move in the winter transfer market and has identified Cesare Casadei as the right profile to strengthen its midfield. According to reports Sky SportsIn fact, the Granata club has presented a first offer to Chelsea for the young Italian midfielder: the idea is to take the 2003-born player on a permanent basis, leaving the English club with the right to buy back the player. Another Serie A club is also interested in Casadei: Lazio, which remains vigilant on the player even though it has not yet submitted offers to Chelsea.
Casadei grew up in the youth sector of Cesena and then in that of Inter, reaching a call-up to the First Team but without ever playing any official match with the Nerazzurri. In August 2022 he arrived at Chelsea, bought him for 15 million plus bonuses and included him in his youth team. Then loans to Reading, in the Championship, and to Maresca’s Leicester, before being recalled to London with Pochettino as coach. With Chelsea he made his debut in the Premier League and finished with 11 league appearances. Confirmed at Chelsea by Maresca, who has since become coach of the Blues, this year he has yet to play in the Premier League (4 appearances in the Conference, one in the FA Cup).
