In a significant move, Napoli are preparing to submit their first official offer to Chelsea for midfielder Cesare Casadei in the coming hours. The talented youngster has expressed his desire to return to Italy, prompting Napoli to act swiftly after surpassing competition from Torino and Lazio.
Gianluca Di Marcio reports that Casadei’s return to Italy seems imminent as he aims to secure more playing time, which has been limited during his stint in England. The midfielder reportedly wants to return to Italy, and Napoli are keen on finalizing the deal quickly to fend off any further interest from other clubs.
The relationship between Napoli and Chelsea is reportedly strong, with Napoli’s sporting director, Mauro Manna, having shown interest in Casadei since last summer. Antonio Conte’s assistant, Cristian Stellini, has a particular admiration for the young midfielder, having worked with him previously at Inter Milan.
As negotiations progress, Napoli are expected to make a concrete offer for a permanent transfer. Chelsea are likely to request a sell-on clause as part of the deal, similar to arrangements made in past transfers. Antonio Conte is reportedly enthusiastic about the idea of bringing Casadei back to Italy, highlighting the strategic importance of this potential signing for Napoli.
In addition to the pursuit of Casadei, Napoli have confirmed that Luis Hasa will remain with the club following the official announcement of his transfer. The club aims to evaluate Hasa’s contributions before making any further decisions regarding his future.
