“I want him, he will helped us alot” – Conte wants Napoli to sign Chelsea player in coming days
Napoli head coach Antonio Conte is determined to secure the signing of Chelsea’s highly-rated Italy U21 midfielder Cesare Casadei.
While Torino has been negotiating a £10 million deal with Chelsea, Conte is urging Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna to finalize an agreement swiftly, according to reports from TMW.
Conte’s interest in Casadei aligns with Napoli’s squad adjustments, as midfielder Michael Folorunsho is set to join Fiorentina, with his medical scheduled for Friday.
Conte sees Casadei as an ideal replacement and is pressing for Napoli to act decisively in the coming days to outbid Torino and bolster their midfield.
Casadei, who joined Chelsea from Inter Milan in 2022, has attracted significant attention for his potential, making him a hot prospect in the January transfer market. The coming days will determine whether Conte’s Napoli can edge out Torino in the race for the young midfielder.
