Casadei claim
Cesare Casadei has insisted that he doesn't regret leaving Inter Milan to join Chelsea. The 20-year-old midfielder has attracted plenty of attention recently following his impressive performances for Italy at the Under-20s World Cup.
Speaking to Sportweek, as quoted by Football Italia, he said: "It’s an experience that is teaching me a lot in every aspect. I’m really happy with the choice I made along with my agent Paolo Busardò.
"It wasn’t the easiest option, but I wanted to take this opportunity because the chance to sign for a team like Chelsea, might only come up a few times in your career, if not only once.
"Today, I can say that this experience is giving me a lot from both a human and professional point of view. I feel like I’ve improved a lot since coming here."

The newest links are somewhat of a surprise, though. It is said in French outlet L'Equipe that Lyon are making him a priority addition to their squad. The Ligue 1 side are said to be keen on making a statement American addition to their squad, like Napoli, and are said to have held talks with the player in an effort to convince him of a move.
There could yet be a twist in this story, too. With Eagle Football Holdings being the controlling shareholding in Lyon, led by American businessman John Textor, they are the same people with 45% of shares in Crystal Palace, who have also been floated as a potential new club for Pulisic.
