Chelsea's Italian midfielder Cesare Casadei is getting closer to returning to his homeland.
Details: According to Sportitalia, Chelsea has accepted Lazio’s offer for Casadei, which is valued at €12 million in cash plus a 25% sell-on fee.
Lazio fought for the Italian U21 international against Torino, but their latest offer in the past 48 hours seems to have been the decisive one.
Exact details regarding the fixed fee and additional bonuses are yet to be clarified, while Lazio needs to remove Tomáš Bašić or Gaetano Castrovilli from their squad before completing the transfer.
Reminder: This season, Casadei has played only six official matches, mostly in the Europa Conference League, without featuring for a single minute in the Premier League.
