Rarely-seen Chelsea midfielder wants out of Stamford Bridge ahead of January transfer window after just 17 appearances

Premier League

Chelsea

Wolverhampton

<p>Casadei joined Chelsea from Inter Milan in the summer of 2022 as a highly-rated 19-year-old midfielder. The Italian spent his first two seasons away from the first team and also went out on short loans to Reading and Leicester City. Casadei was a sporadic member of Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea squad last season, making 11 appearances off the bench.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>This season has seen Casadei's role at Chelsea restricted to the Europa Conference League under Enzo Maresca, and the 21-year-old is now open to leaving the Blues in the January transfer window, as per <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1870143798233207098" target="_blank">transfer guru Fabrizio Romano</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The report by Romano has suggested that a move back to Italy is the likeliest outcome, with a number of Serie A sides interested in signing Casadei on loan. He'll likely be pleased to see the back of Stamford Bridge, having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-cesare-casadei-stamford-bridge-usmnt-boss-mauricio-pochettino/bltc672ceb282421665" target="_blank">openly expressed his frustration</a> at a lack of minutes under former boss Pochettino and failed to see that change with Maresca.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Italy youth international has only been included in two Premier League matchday squads by Maresca and it's unlikely that his name will be in the squad when Chelsea take on Everton on Sunday at Goodison Park.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR CASADEI?
