Chelsea midfielder, Cesare Casadei, appears on the way to complete a permanent transfer to Lazio. tRANSFER The deadline after the player's agent posted an indicator hint on social media.
Casadei has fought for the time of the game this season, appearing mainly in the Conference League and barely made the match day in the Premier League, let alone play.
The lack of chances for the new Italian has been somewhat startling, given his existing relationship with Enzo Maresca from leicester City loan last season. Again, this has not even helped sign the summer worth £ 30m, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, to have meaningful play time.
A proposed £ 11m pass to Lazio is at work, with representative Francesco Facchinetti using social media over the weekend to broadcast, without a live context, that he was traveling to Rome.
BBC Sport Nizaar Kinsella has reported that an agreement between Chelsea And Lazio “believed to be near”, with a “considerable sales clause” also the object of discussion. This means that if Casadei grows and Lazio makes money, Chelsea will also continue to benefit from the player.
Casadei turned 22 earlier this month, but has never played professionally in his country. Ravenna -born talent withdrew from the Inter Academy from Chelsea in August 2022, when he was still only 18 years old – an agreement that was worth 15m euros at that time.
So far, Casadei has made 17 appearances for Chelsea, and has played 40 times in Reading and Leicester borrowing in the last two seasons.
Lazio is performing well, both at home and in Europe, so far in 2024/25. Marco Baron's team is in the Serie A fourth place in the race for the Champions League qualification, while leading with three points at the top of the Europa League ranking with one day remaining.
