Chelsea transfer news: Deal agreed with Italian club for young star

Chelsea have finally agreed deal with Italian club after a long wait. As per the deal, the young Blues star will switch sides in the middle of the season.

The star in question here is Cesare Casadei who joined the Blues in 2022. He spend the entire first season on loan but was with the West London club full last season. However, he played only 11 Premier League games without starting any of them.

Casadei has fallen down the pecking order even further this season. He is yet to play any league game and has just made 6 appearances in all competitions. The Blues are ready to part ways with him and the player is also pushing for exit.

Casadei had a lot of interest from Italy but some English clubs were also in the race. Firstly, it was Torino who made an offer but that was quickly rejected by Chelsea. Later, Lazio joined the race who have now succeeded in their mission.

Chelsea agree deal with Lazio for Casadei

Torino’s offer was rejected due to them not wanting to install a sell-on clause. However, Lazio have agreed all the demands from the West London club. The Blues have been able to strike a very good deal for the 21 year old.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Lazio will pay Chelsea £10.5 million and the Blues will also earn 25% from any future sale of Casadei. Due to this clause, they can go after Casadei again in future and at that time, they will need to pay much lower than other clubs.

Casadei will hope to play regularly at Lazio in order to revive his career. He is still 21 years old and has a huge career infront of him. But in order to reach his true potential, he needs to play regularly and that’s why move away from Stamford Bridge makes lot of sense.
