Overview
- Multiple outlets in late June 2026, citing TuttoMercatoWeb, reported that Chelsea are weighing a move to re-sign 23-year-old Cesare Casadei from Torino rather than that being confirmed.
- Those reports say Chelsea could rely on a reported 27.5% sell-on clause from Casadei’s €15m move to Torino to reduce the fee required for a return.
- If re-signed, Chelsea are said to plan an immediate loan to continue his progress, with newly promoted Premier League side Ipswich Town repeatedly named as a possible destination in coverage.
- Casadei scored seven goals in 37 appearances for Torino last season and ranked highly in Serie A metrics for headed goals, aerial duels won, duels won, and non-penalty goals, which has driven the renewed interest.
- Other clubs including Real Betis, Brighton and Everton have been linked with the midfielder and no official bids or confirmations have been reported, leaving the story at the rumour stage.
