Chelsea And Lazio Found Agreement To Closing The Gap In Casadei's Negotiations

Lazio are back in fourth place thanks to a commanding victory in Verona, solidifying their pursuit of a top finish this season. With Europa League action looming on Thursday, the midweek fixtures will demand a fully fit squad ready for the challenges ahead.

In the meantime, the club are aiming to strengthen their midfield options before the January window closes. After bringing in Ibrahimovic, Lazio have turned their attention to Casadei. According to transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà, the Biancoceleste are pushing to finalize the move as soon as possible.

Pedullà reports that Chelsea have agreed to shift two million euros of the deal into bonuses—effectively a €13 million plus €2 million arrangement—while Lazio are willing to include a sell-on percentage in the contract. Casadei himself is said to favor a move to Lazio, placing them in pole position. Although Torino remains interested and acknowledges it must increase its offer, its proposed fixed fee still falls short.
