Leicester City have reportedly made an enquiry to Chelsea regarding the signing of 21-year-old Italian midfielder Cesare Casadei during the January transfer window.
With Chelsea set to offload several players this winter, Casadei, alongside names like Ben Chilwell and Carney Chukwuemeka, is among those likely to depart in search of regular first-team opportunities.
The Italian midfielder has struggled for game time at Stamford Bridge but remains a sought-after talent. Last season, he enjoyed a successful loan spell at Leicester City, where he contributed three goals in 25 appearances and played a key role in their promotion campaign.
According to reports from The Daily Mail, Leicester City, along with Serie A clubs Torino, Monza, and Lazio, have shown interest in securing Casadei's services. With new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy at the helm, Leicester are keen to bolster their midfield as they prepare for a potential relegation battle in the Premier League.
While details of the potential deal remain unclear—whether a loan or a permanent transfer—it is evident that Casadei's composure and technical ability would be a valuable addition to Leicester’s midfield.
Chelsea’s transfer strategy this January could see several fringe players exiting, giving Casadei the chance to revive his career and Leicester an opportunity to strengthen their squad for the challenges ahead.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as clubs finalize their plans for the second half of the season.
