Rumor has it that Serie A clubs are ‘interested’ in Chelsea’s unpopular midfielder

In 2022, Inter Milan paid close to €20 million to acquire Casadei, even though he had never played for the club at the senior level.

The original plan was for the youngster to spend time on loan at another club in the hopes of eventually making it into Chelsea’s first squad.

With 21 starts and 16 substitute appearances for Reading and Leicester City combined in the Championship, he certainly earned his fair share of playing time.

Although Casadei helped Chelsea win several crucial victories after his January return, he was only able to make 11 Premier League substitute appearances.Does Casadei not manage to persuade Maresca?Everyone thought the 21-year-old would be kept on the first team since he had worked with fellow Italian Enzo Maresca at Leicester.

That the Italy U-21 international had not been selected for the 28-player preseason tour of the US was instead made public on Monday night.

Unfortunately, this means Casadei won’t be playing for the West Londoners anytime soon. Despite this, it seems like his autograph has fans in his native country.

Napoli is reportedly interested in finalizing a deal for Casadei in the next few weeks, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

Even though Antonio Conte reportedly has a shortlist of candidates, including Casadei, a deal with Chelsea is still possible.

Even Fiorentina is eager to acquire Casadei before the new season begins, according to a different source on Sky Sport Italia.Are Chelsea contemplating a long-term departure?Chelsea is not in a haste to make any firm decisions regarding Casadei’s future because his contract does not expire until 2028.

However, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital would not turn down a realistic possibility to earn a fee of £16 million, which would be equivalent to recovering their investment.

With their abundance of center midfielders, Chelsea might improve their standing with the Premier League and UEFA’s financial requirements with an instant sale.

Also, Tuttomercatoweb’s story admits that Casadei wants to go back to Italy.
