There are intense speculations over <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/cesare-casadei-who-is-chelsea-new-italian-wonderkid/blt7fa0c0f2a144a6bb" target="_blank">Casadei's future at Stamford Bridge </a>after Enzo Maresca decided against including the midfielder in the squad for the club’s pre-season trip to the United States. And according to <a href="https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/fiorentina-casadei-trattativa-chelsea-news" target="_blank">Gianluca Di Marzio</a>, Fiorentina have been in contact with Chelsea to negotiate a transfer for the Italian.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Fiorentina are hoping to secure the player on loan but the two clubs have yet to agree on the terms of the deal. Meanwhile,<a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1816373569363829231" target="_blank"> Fabrizio Romano</a> reports that Chelsea are considering whether to continue the discussions with the Serie A outfit as there are three to four other clubs who have also shown interest in the player.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After Chelsea acquired Casadei from Inter Milan in 2022 for an initial fee of £12.6 million ($16.24m), with an additional £4.2 million ($5.41m) in potential add-ons, the player spent the first half of the 2022/2023 season with Chelsea's under-21 side before being loaned out to Reading for the second half of the campaign. Last season, Casadei was loaned to Leicester City, where he had the opportunity to work under Maresca. However, his time with The Foxes was cut short when<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/why-chelsea-have-called-midfielder-cesare-casadei-from-leicester-loan-mauricio-pochettino-makes-big-call-explained/blt8774e223b33dff13" target="_blank"> Chelsea recalled him in January</a>. Despite his return, Casadei was used sparingly for the remainder of the season and was more of a bench warmer.

DID YOU KNOW?

Casadei has struggled to break into the first team and it is evident that his future lies away from Stamford Bridge. It remains to be seen if he ends up again in Italy where he spent the formative years of his career.
