After rejecting Chelsea’s initial advances for Primavera starlet Cesare Casadei, Inter are expecting to receive a concrete offer for the 19-year-old from Serie A feeder club Sassuolo. The Neroverdi are among the few clubs highly reputed for developing world-class talent, as seen in the past with the likes of Gianluca Scamacca, Domenico Berardi, Manuel Locatelli and Giacomo Raspadori, among others.
Casadei is one of Inter’s most prized possessions, and it is no secret that top clubs all over Europe are keeping close tabs on him, with Chelsea being the first ones to act on their interest by offering approximately €8M to sign him. However, the Nerazzurri are least interested in sending him away without a buyback option.
It was reported earlier by La Gazzetta dello Sport of Inter’s wish to demand €20M for the youngster to thwart off interest, but the latest information relayed by the outlet (via Calciomercato) indicate that the Milan giants would be willing to sell Casadei for an offer of €10M if a buyback option is included in the deal.
Sassuolo are the frontrunners for his signature at the moment. The Emilians are understood to be willing to add a buyback clause for the midfield sensation, who has reportedly been touted as the ‘next Marco Verratti’ due to their similar style of play.
Our Take on Casadei to Sassuolo
He is one of the most exciting young talents in Italian football. It would be nothing less than apt to see him grow with the Neroverdi, who are famed for grooming players to the best of their abilities. Moreover, it only seems convenient that, at such a tender age as he is, staying put in Italy, rather than going abroad would help him develop at a steady pace.
