“Medical completed” – Fabrizio Romano confirms Chelsea transfer saga is finally over | OneFootball

Chelsea and Torino have reached an agreement for Cesare Casadei to join the Serie A side according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The January window is now into the final few days and this is the point where things usually start to pick up in regards to transfers.

The Blues haven’t been as a busy as expected so far, and are yet to make any signings other than recalling Trevoh Chalobah from loan, but they have agreed a €15m deal with Strasbourg for Mamadou Sarr, who will join in the summer.

Casadei to join Torino

Whilst the Blues are looking to bring one or two new faces in before Monday’s deadline day, the club are also desperately trying to move a number of players on.

The only outgoing of note had been Renato Veiga’s loan move to Juventus, however Chelsea have now completed their first sale of the window.

After weeks of negotiations and back and forth with both Lazio and Torino, Casadei is finally set to join Torino after the Blues reached an agreement with their Italian counterparts.

Romano confirmed the news and said on X.com:

“Cesare Casadei to Torino from Chelsea, here we go! Agreement done between all parties, medical completed. €15m package for Chelsea plus 25% sell-on clause. Casadei signed his Torino contract few minutes ago.”

This will be a relief for all parties as it felt like there was a chance this deal might not happen, which wouldn’t have been good for Chelsea or Casadei.

There was believed to be late interest from Porto, but Casadei will now return to his homeland, with the Blues pretty much getting back the initial £12.6m they paid Inter Milan for the midfielder in 2022.

In total the 21-year-old made 17 appearances for the Blues and had loan spells at both Reading and Leicester during his time at Stamford Bridge.
