Fans are excited as Cesare Casadei has decided to remain at Chelsea despite juicy offers from other clubs. He also noted that he agreed without Enzo Maresca’s direct influence. After last season deprived him of game time, the youngster considered his options but took the chance to prove himself this season. To reaffirm his enthusiasm, he featured against Barrow in the club’s impressive 5-0 win in the EFL Cup. He switched from his customary position to playing in the defensive midfield but still managed to showcase talent. Such dynamism makes Cesare Casadei a promising option for Chelsea’s future.
Cesare Casadei’s Profile
Cesare Casadei is a 21-year-old Italian with a weight of 77 kg and an impressive height of 189 cm. His entry into Chelsea took place in 2022, signing a £12.6m deal with £4m in add-ons for a 5-year contract that extends till 2026. He wears a historic shirt number of #31. He initially played as a central midfielder with a forward role, but under Enzo Maresca, there is an apparent shift to playing a defensive role in the team. His right foot is dominant, with the left being his weak foot. He has received commendations for his passing, tackling, and box-to-box midfield playing style.
Since he joined Chelsea, Cesare Casadei has had 25 appearances with 6 goal contributions (2 goals and four assists). He has five yellow cards and 0 reds as penalties during his playtime. Casadei represents Italy’s U20 with six appearances and 1 goal. During the tussle for the young talent, Florentina was in a bid to sign the midfielder. BBC also reported that Napoli made attempts for a transfer along with Romelu Lukaku to activate an exchange with Victor Osimhen, which failed.
Casare’s Performance With Chelsea
In the pre-KAA Gent Press Conference, Casadei expresses his determination to succeed at Chelsea, maintaining his pride as a player for the Blues. He might become a major pillar in Chelsea’s first team with hard work and focus. Casadei demonstrated his willingness to work and fight for his place in the Chelsea squad. After he decided to remain at Chelsea, he was featured once as part of the starting eleven in the English Football League game against Barrow. He played a defensive role in the midfield and got a rating of 7 out of 10, which is fair considering it’s his first time filling in a defensive space for the club.
Analysts have described Casadei’s role in the game as a smooth play against the handicapped Barrow midfield. He is expected to develop more defensive skills with more game time. The coach was also pleased with Cesare Casadei’s performance against Barrow, allowing him to play for 90 minutes. His coach showered him with appraisals, noting that although he struggled initially, he finished the game strongly. Maresca also expressed a high probability that Casadei will get more game time in the future.
Cesare Decides To Stay In Chelsea
Casadei has decided to stay at Chelsea, fully committed to the club’s vision and project. He was interviewed at the pre-KAA Gents Press Conference, where he answered some questions about his relationship with the new coach and why he decided to stay. Cesare Casadei noted that he was not the only player with an existing relationship with the coach. In Casadei’s opinion, Enzo Maresca’s goals for the season were also clear and definite. This resulted in his final resolution to stay because of his resonance with the coach’s mentality and football style.
He also reflected on how the game-time drought made him reluctant and unhappy. However, he expects things to change with the new coach. Casadei noted that he had a final resolution: to stay at Chelsea to become an important part of the team. To perform as a defensive midfielder, Casadei emphasized that he was training hard to adapt to the newly found role. This solid decision by Casadei to stay at Chelsea has also attracted various reactions.
