Lazio is on the verge of finalising a deal to acquire Cesare Casadei from Chelsea, following a bid submitted two days ago. The offer includes €12 million plus a 20% sell-on clause. Negotiations are reportedly in the final stages, with Lazio’s director, Fabiani, playing a crucial role in the discussions. His established relationship with Chelsea is expected to facilitate the completion of the transfer.
Background on Cesare Casadei
Cesare Casadei, a promising midfielder, has been under contract with Chelsea. Previously, he was recalled from a loan spell at Leicester City. His playing style is characterised by his versatility and ability to contribute both defensively and offensively in the midfield.
Transfer Developments
The pursuit of Casadei by Lazio has been ongoing, with the club having increased their bid earlier this month. Other clubs, including Torino and Napoli, have also shown interest in the midfielder, but Lazio appears to be leading the race for his signature.
Potential Impact
The acquisition of Casadei could bolster Lazio’s midfield options as they aim to strengthen their squad. The inclusion of a sell-on clause in the deal suggests Chelsea’s interest in Casadei’s future development and potential resale value.
