The agents of Cesare Casadei were in contact with Porto, but the meeting was not positive as Casadei's agents rejected the destination, deeming it unsuitable for the technical project.

Porto has put forward a substantial offer of 15 million euros to Chelsea for Cesare Casadei, overtaking Lazio and Torino in the pursuit of the player. Lazio was reported to have initially reached an agreement with Casadei and his representatives, suggesting a 13 million euro deal in installments with a 35% future resale clause, although they still needed to convince Chelsea to agree to their terms. Meanwhile, Torino's extended negotiations appear to have been overshadowed by Porto's assertive approach, as they have now assumed the lead in securing the Chelsea midfielder.
