Torino have beaten their Italian rivals Lazio in the signing of Chelsea star. The agreement is reached between the two clubs and the deal is expected to be completed very soon.
The Chelsea star in question here is Cesare Casadei who joined the Blues in 2022 from Inter Milan. In his first season at England, he was sent on two loan spells of half season each. Later, in 2023/24 season the Italian made his Chelsea debut.
Casadei was viewed as player with very bright future at Stamford Bridge. However, it has not been paid off so far for both Chelsea and the midfielder. Casadei has played only 17 games in 2 seasons.
Casadei is way behind in pecking order and has played only 6 games this season. He is yet to play in Premier League this season and hence is very heavily linked with exit. He is open to move away in search of regular game time.
Torino extremely close to sign Cesare Casadei
Torino were the first club who showed interest in the 21 year old. They even made initial moves which were rejected by Chelsea. Later, Lazio joined the race and were believed to have upper hand in landing the Italian talent.
However, Torino have refused to give up and made constant efforts to sign Casadei. Gianluca Di Marzio has now reported that they have finally beaten Lazio in the signing of Casadei. Details of the deal are set to be formalised today.
As of now, both clubs in question have reached agreement. The transfer fee will be in the region of €10 million to €12 million plus bonuses. In addition, the Blues will insert a heavy sell-on clause in the contract.
Chelsea will be able to bag a hefty margin with the sell-on clause. They can also sign the player back in future on low price when compared to other clubs. The similar situation is seen in the pursuit of Marc Guehi currently.
