‘Inevitable divorce’ between Chelsea and player – January transfer very much on cards

Chelsea’s Cesare Casadei is yet to start even once in the Premier League since arriving from Inter Milan in the summer of 2022.

He is merely a bit-part player at Stamford Bridge this season, despite having done well under manager Enzo Maresca during their time together at Leicester City.

While the Italian has only played in the Conference League and the League Cup, talk of his exit has come up again in Italy.

MilanLive have reported today that AC Milan want to strengthen their midfield in January and their ‘sights are set’ on the Chelsea man, who is on the fringes of the project at the London club.

The Rossoneri, due to Casadei’s situation, have signed up for the chase even though there is no clarity about whether they would want a loan deal or a permanent deal.

The outlet’s feeling is that the ex-Inter youth player intends to gain more game time away from Chelsea and the 21-year-old is heading towards an ‘inevitable divorce’ with the Blues.

AC Milan could be a destination where he’d more involved in the first-team and will be able to further his development.
