Deal to be done this week – Fabrizio Romano confirms Chelsea closing to complete 5th summer signing

According to reports, Chelsea is close to finalizing a fifth deal this summer with Inter Milan prodigy Cesare Casadei. The Blues have been courting the midfielder over the past few weeks, and their pursuit is anticipated to succeed.

According to The Guardian, Chelsea will sign the player in the coming days for an estimated fee of about £12 million.

Two proposals for the Italian were turned down by Thomas Tuchel’s team, but they anticipate success with this new proposal. OGC Nice of Ligue 1 was also interested in him but is said to have lost out to Chelsea.

Despite consistently standing out in the U-19 division, Casadei, 19, has yet to make his first appearance for Inter’s first team.

In 30 games last season in the U-19 Italian league, he made 14 goals and contributed four assists. In the centre of the field, he competes fiercely and excels in the air with particularly outstanding leaps and heading skills.

It will be intriguing to watch whether Tuchel instantly integrates him into Chelsea’s senior first squad or loans him out.

Although the Premier League powerhouses will have enough time to plan a best-mcase scenario for the player, he might also be farmed out to Serie A.
