Benfica made some inquiries in recent days through 23-year-old Italian midfielder Cesare Casadei's entourage, but the player does not seem willing to leave Serie A. His club, Torino, has no intention of selling the midfielder, as president Urbano Cairo considers him a foundational player for the team's future and has consistently rejected all proposals. The club previously rejected advances from West Ham, Feyenoord, and Betis Siviglia in January. The new coach, Ignazio Abate, also views Casadei as an important player, and the player's own goal is to have a prominent season to secure a place in the Italian national team. Casadei, who is yet to be capped by Italy, has a contract with Torino until June 2029, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €15.00m.
