CM: Chelsea midfielder could make switch to Italy – why Milan’s interest has cooled

Cesare Casadei could well be heading for a return back to his home country but it seems as though AC Milan are no longer in the running.

As Daniele Longo writes for Calciomercato.com, the goal for the January transfer window for Chelsea is to thin out the squad and send some players out to get more playing time, and this applies to Casadei.

Chelsea believe a lot in his qualities and are banking on him for the future, but the issue at the moment is that in the 4-2-3-1 system it is Enzo Fernandez and Moisés Caicedo who are practically irreplaceable.

This is why the doors are opening for Casadei, to leave and it is Monza and Lazio that are ready to try land him. The first are offering him a semi-guaranteed starting spot and the possibility of a dry loan until the end of the season. Lazio meanwhile are trying for an option to buy.

The situation is wide open because there are other foreign clubs interested too. Much will also depend on Chelsea and how many spots they will have for loans, so for the two Italian clubs, moving in advance could make the difference.

Milan were linked in the summer and had long evaluated a loan. They spoke with Casadei’s old agent (an intermediary who was part of the Paulo Fonseca negotiations) but now the midfielder has changed representatives.

The agency Epic Sports Italy look after his interests now, but Casaedi is no longer on the list of targets of the Rossoneri for January. Instead, Geoffrey Moncada and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are looking for a midfielder who can act as an deputy to Youssouf Fofana, so a more defensive profile.
