According to reports, a Chelsea misfit who has ties to AC Milan, a significant Italian side, is on the verge of an “inevitable divorce” from Enzo Maresca’s team. Chelsea has made more transactions than ever since the company led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital successfully purchased the team in 2022 for £2.5 billion (€2.98 billion, $3.15 billion). The Blues have since spent almost £1.3 billion (€1.55 billion, $1.64 billion) on players with varying degrees of success. Cesare Casadei was one such player who was signed for less money.
In August 2022, the midfield player moved from Inter Milan to Chelsea for a reported €20 million (£16.7 million, $21.1 million). Since then, he has only made 15 Premier League appearances, none of which have been starts. The Stamford Bridge team was willing to sell Romelu Lukaku, an Italian striker at the time, to Napoli in exchange for Victor Osimhen, according to a report published this summer by TEAMtalk.
‘Inevitable divorce’ between Chelsea and player
Cesare Casadei, who joined Chelsea from Inter Milan in the summer of 2022, has not yet made a Premier League debut. Although the Italian has just participated in the League Cup and the Conference League, rumors of his departure have surfaced once more in Italy. According to a report by MilanLive today, AC Milan wants to bolster their midfield in January, and they have their sights set on the Chelsea player, who is now on the outskirts of the London club’s project.
Although it is unclear if the Rossoneri would prefer a loan agreement or a permanent one, they have joined the chase because of Casadei’s circumstances. The 21-year-old is reportedly on the verge of an “inevitable divorce” with the Blues, and the former Inter junior star hopes to get more playing time away from Chelsea. He might be able to advance his development and play a bigger role in the first squad at AC Milan.
