Torino's 23-year-old Italian midfielder, Cesare Casadei, was the subject of interest from Fiorentina last January, in addition to several foreign clubs including AS Monaco, PSV, Feyenoord, and Sporting CP. However, Torino's President Cairo rejected the approach and decided to keep the player. An uncapped Italian international, Casadei joined Torino from Chelsea in February 2025. The transfer fee was reportedly between €13 million and €15 million, after Chelsea had reportedly set an asking price of €15 million to €25 million during the January 2025 window. Chelsea holds a 27.5% sell-on clause for any future sale. Casadei's contract is until June 2029, and he has provided 5 assists in 4 Serie A appearances this season. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €14.00m.
