Torino, Chelsea negotiating Cesare Casadei transfer — report

Yesterday at 12:55 AM

Agreement expected

Of all the many players in the extended first-team squad, Cesare Casadei looks to be among those most likely to depart Chelsea this month. In fact, it's looking increasingly likely that he will do so a permanent basis, and do so to Torino FC in Serie A.

According to the latest reports yesterday (Sunday), Torino and Chelsea are actively engaged in negotiations, with the soon-to-be 22-year-old midfielder having already said yes to the new dress.

As things stand, the two sides have not found an agreement on the financial terms of the deal, but are expected to meet halfway between Chelsea's €20m demand, all-in with a buyback, and Torino's latest €12m offer, with only a sell-on clause included. That's a decent gap to close, to be sure, so this might take a bit, but hopefully we can figure something out to have us at the very least recoup (most of) our initial €15m investment.
