Four Serie A clubs are reportedly interested in Chelsea talent Cesare Casadei – Napoli, Lazio, Monza and Torino – and the Granata have already made an opening offer for the Italian.
Former Inter midfielder Casadei could return to Italy in the winter transfer window as four Serie A clubs are reportedly interested in securing his services.

According to Tuttosport, Torino have already opened talks with Chelsea, offering a permanent €8m transfer with a buy-back clause for the Blues.
Chelsea won’t consider a loan move and don’t want to lose control of Casadei, but are aware that the 21-year-old must get more playing time in the second part of the season.
Casadei has made six appearances across all competitions this season but has yet to play a minute in Premier League matches under Enzo Maresca.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Lazio are also interested in Casadei but haven’t yet made an opening offer as the Biancocelesti are currently in talks with Empoli for Jacopo Fazzini, who is also a central midfield.
Napoli are also interested in Casadei and Fazzini, while Monza had previously been linked with Casadei, but the Serie A strugglers have just confirmed the return of Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro on loan from Lazio.
