Chelsea are reportedly plotting a summer transfer for Inter youngster Cesare Casadei. But the Italian clubโs asking price for the midfielder remains a stumbling block in a potential deal for the Premier League side.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelseaโs new offer intends to spend a transfer fee of around โฌ10 million on the arrival of Cesare Casadei this summer. However, Inter continue to demand โฌ15 million in return for the youngsterโs services.
Chelsea have already seen their initial offer of around โฌ8 million for the 19-year-old rejected by the 19-time Scudetto winner. As things stand, Chelsea will have to pay a much higher price if they donโt wish to include a buy-back clause while obtaining the playerโs signature.
On the other hand, Sassuolo could end up being benefited from this transfer tussle. The Neroverdi are also keen on making a move for the youngster but have chosen to monitor the situation closely for the time being. The report claims that they are willing to take him with the buy-back clause. Inter CEOย Beppe Marotta and sports director Piero Ausilio are understandably working on the exit of Casadei.
