Tuttosport: Milan express interest in Torino’s winter signing – the response | OneFootball

It hasn’t taken long for Cesare Casadei to make an impression at Torino, and AC Milan have come forward with an enquiry.

This morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) talks about Milan’s interest in Casadei. Having returned to Italy during the winter transfer window he has really hit the ground running, showcasing the talent that caused Chelsea to invest in him.

Up to this point, the former Inter player has made five appearances in Serie A with Torino, also scoring a goal (against Monza) and providing an assist. It is not a bad return and his eye-catching performances have indeed caught the eye of Milan, but also Napoli and Fiorentina.

However, given the significant financial effort made in January to sign him, Urbano Cairo has no intention of selling the player. It is for this reason that he responded to the advances of these big teams with a firm no.

According to the data available on Transfermarkt, Casadei made the switch to Chelsea from Inter for just short of €15m in August 2022. He went to Torino for a figure of around €13m, with a sell-on clause believed to be included in the deal.

The report also mentions that Cairo seems more willing to think about the idea of selling Samuele Ricci instead, despite his recent renewal, though he would want at least €40m for him.
