Chelsea are still hoping to move Cesare Casadei this winter, and if they can do so, they have already identified his replacement.
The 22-year-old has made just six appearances for a total of 424 minutes in 2024/25 (Transfer market), and none of them came in the Premier League.
Lazio are interested in Cassady But the deal has not been agreed yet.
Chelsea knows Cesar Casadei's replacement
Until that happens, the Blues cannot make a move for the player Lazio He is called “one of the best playmakers in Serie A”.
They point to Blahain's great satisfaction in Hellas Verona Transfer market He has already made 20 Serie A appearances this season.
Gianluca Di Marzio He indicates that the Blues are pressing to sign the player this month.
Ben Chilwell is leaving Chelsea Also because he is another player that Enzo Maresca does not find a place in the first team.

The issue for Bellahain is whether he wants to become another Blues player at Stamford Bridge, or continue playing regularly for Hellas Verona.
Chelsea are arguably a bigger club, with respect, but the way the west London side have been operating in the transfer market over the past few seasons leaves a lot to be desired.
Would Reda Belhain be happy being a part-time player like Cesar Casadei?
Maresca has inherited a bloated squad and it's clear the Italian can't please everyone.
What this means in practice is that with each transfer window coming, there are bound to be a number of transfers coming in and going out at Stamford Bridge.
This is not conducive to the continuity needed to win major trophies, but that is the situation Chelsea find themselves in once again.
If Belhain decides he wants to try something new in the Premier League, he will have to accept that he could return to being a young player in the interim, before he can make his mark.
