Warren Bondo has drawn the attention of big teams, especially Milan, Atalanta, and Inter, and, despite his essential role at Monza, he’s not untouchable. The Brianzoli, which are already thin in the midfield, have earmarked Cesare Casadei as a potential replacement.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Rossoneri have done a lot of homework on the youngster. They had already tracked him when he was at Rennes in 2021. There were some contacts to bring him in, but he elected to go to a smaller team in his first Serie A stop. CEO Adriano Galliani scooped him up on a free transfer.
Milan could target Bondo in January already, while Atalanta and Inter are more interested for the summer. La Dea is starting to look for a potential heir to Ederson, whose sale would fetch a major figure. Moreover, they could use a Marten de Roon deputy, as Ibrahima Sulemana hasn’t convinced Gian Piero Gasperini so far.
Monza won’t give the talent away but are open for business in case of a proper offer. Per Nicolò Schira, they are keen on Casadei. They have lost Matteo Pessina and Roberto Gagliardini to long-term thigh injuries. They’ll inquire with Chelsea about a potential loan.
He’s a little sloppy with the ball in some matches, but he’s young and already fairly experienced, and he has a high ceiling. He’d be a swell choice as a Youssouf Fofana backup, and his price tag probably isn’t too lofty. He’d be a nice toy in Gian Piero Gasperini’s hands as he can still be molded. Monza need a new midfielder regardless.
