One of the recent stories of this transfer window has been Chelsea’s chase of Inter Milan starlet Cesare Casadei. Both Jacob Steinberg of The Guardian<\/a> and Fabrizio Romano<\/a> have issued updates on the story, with one more optimistic than the other.<\/p>\n

Steinberg states that Chelsea are “close to winning the race” for a player he describes as a “highly-rated midfielder” while mentioning that OGC Nice from Ligue 1 are interested in the teenager.<\/p>\n

Romano backs up the Nice links but says that there are “key days ahead” for the deal as the Blues are pushing to get the deal done. While The Guardian’s report indicates that the deal is almost done, Romano is a lot more cautious, but either way, it appears that the youngster’s future will be confirmed sometime soon.<\/p>\n
