Cesare Casadei Joins Torino in Permanent Transfer from Chelsea
Italian midfielder Cesare Casadei has officially completed a permanent move from Chelsea to Torino. The deal is worth ยฃ12.5 million, with Chelsea securing a 25% sell-on clause for any future transfer.
Casadei, 21, joined Chelsea from Inter Milan in 2022 but struggled to break into the first team. Despite impressing on loan spells at Reading and Leicester City, opportunities at Stamford Bridge remained limited. Now, he returns to Italy to continue his development in Serie A.
Torino, who have been keen to strengthen their midfield, see Casadei as a valuable long-term investment. His physical presence, technical ability, and goal-scoring potential from midfield make him a strong addition to the squad.
Chelsea, meanwhile, continue their squad reshaping, offloading players who are not part of their immediate plans. The inclusion of a 25% sell-on clause suggests the club still believes in Casadeiโs potential and could benefit from a future move.
For Casadei, this transfer offers a fresh start and the opportunity for regular top-flight football in his home country. Torino fans will hope he can make an instant impact as they push for a strong finish in Serie A.
