Chelsea’s transfer of Inter Milan midfielder Cesare Casadei is ‘all set up’ and, barring any last-minute hiccups, should be completed soon, according to transfer insider Dean Jones. Thomas Tuchel has overseen a solid start to the Premier League season at Stamford Bridge, having beaten Everton and drawn with Tottenham, but the German is still eager to strengthen ahead of the September 1 deadline.
Sky Sports have reported that an agreement has been reached with Inter for the £12.6 million transfer of the 19-year-old, with an extra £4.2 million available as add-ons.
The outlet states that the midfielder is expected to travel to England this week ahead of a medical on Thursday in west London before signing on the dotted line.
While Casadei may be highly rated by some, he is still yet to make a senior appearance for the Nerazzurri but has scored 25 goals in 66 appearances for the club’s under-19 side.
