Genoa mocked, Casadei fades away

No Cesare Casadei for Genoa: the Chelsea midfielder of Inter school, starring at the last World Under-20 Championship with the Azzurri jersey, had been given very close to the Rossoblu club, which had found an agreement with the Blues.

The Grifone on Tuesday evening seemed close to closing the deal, but in the last hours it was bypassed by Enzo Maresca’s Leicester, who secured him for the 2023/2024 season.

Chelsea is banking heavily on the player and would have preferred to play him in England and to sell him on loan to the Championship team.

Casadei in Genoa would have gone to fill the void left by the sale of Lipani to Sassuolo: now the Ligurians will have to move on to another target. Casadei played on loan at Reading last season.
