Casadei joined Chelsea in the summer of 2022 from Inter Milan as he spent his first two seasons away on loan to Reading and Leicester City. However, Enzo Maresca does not have the 21-year-old in his plans for the Blues' future. As such, it had been reported that the Italian youngster is on his way out of Stamford Bridge and a move back to Italy is the most likely outcome.
