Cesare Casadei, the Chelsea midfielder, might be on the verge of leaving the Blues to return to Italy.
Enzo Maresca has not included him in the squad for the USA tour, sparking significant speculation.
Casadei spent the last season on loan at Leicester, where he was under the guidance of Maresca.
After returning to Chelsea, he reunited with Maresca, who took over the reins at Stamford Bridge.
However, it appears that Casadei may not feature in the Blues’ plans for the upcoming season.
Maresca’s decision to exclude Casadei from the USA tour has intensified rumours of an imminent departure.
An inside source revealed, “Maresca’s exclusion of Casadei from the tour strongly suggests that the player is considering his options.”
This decision has led to increased speculation that Casadei could be heading back to Italy.
With the transfer window still open, it remains to be seen where Casadei will play his football next season.
