Introduction to Italian Football Podcast
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome to the Italian football podcast.
Chelsea's Interest in Cesare Casade
00:00:06
Speaker
Right, let's move on to the to the young interkid that everyone is talking about in the last few days. So Cesare Casade. We know that Chelsea are in negotiations. Our friend Nizar Kinsella did a story yesterday and
Inter's Valuation and Other Interested Clubs
00:00:20
Speaker
they put in a few bids for him. Inter are asking for around about 20 million pounds.
00:00:28
Speaker
20 million pounds, about 24 million euros. But we also know there is a lot of other interest in him, Arsenal, Sassuola, some other teams as well.
Cesare Casade's Early Career
00:00:36
Speaker
I mean, first of all, how good is this kid and should interkeep him?
00:00:42
Speaker
Look, he was born in Ravenna in Emilia-Romagna. He started playing for Chervia as Seria D side on the C side of Emilia-Romagna as in the youth team before joining Cesena.
Performance in Inter's Primavera Team
00:00:58
Speaker
He signed for their youth team and then in 2018 he came to Inter and he really quickly established himself
00:01:07
Speaker
in for the for the primavera side the under 19s whilst only being 16 um and he was he he was he was scored 15 goals last season when inter became inters primavera won the italian championships and inters primavera these last few years has won pretty much every title youth team title available to
Playing Style Compared to Frank Lampard
00:01:27
Speaker
them
00:01:27
Speaker
And he's been one of the most important players in that side. He's a central midfielder. He's rather tall. He's 6'1", 186cm. He's a tall guy. He plays centrally. But what he does, for me, I've always thought he reminds me of Frank Lampard.
00:01:46
Speaker
in the way in the style that he plays. Yeah, no, but he really does because these runs from deep, I mean, the ability to time these runs from deep and the clinical being clinical in front of goal, that's what that's his strength. And I think I think that's what that's why Tukhil is so infatuated with him, despite the fact that he's not even played a single game of senior football or first team football.
Progress Since Under-19 Football
00:02:12
Speaker
So he's an interesting player. He's been on everyone's radar and he's 19 years old now, but he's played under 19 football since he was 16. And that's improved him a lot. And he's taken a stride and shown that he's good enough for that challenge.
Inter's Financial Strategy: Who to Sell?
00:02:38
Speaker
But for me, the issue is this.
00:02:41
Speaker
there is no chance, there is no room at the inn where he plays. People say, oh, why can Roberto Galliardini play? Yeah, but he's a defensive midfielder. Cesare Casade is not a defensive midfielder. And to put Cesare Casade to play as a defensive midfielder
00:02:58
Speaker
Maybe that can work one day, but I certainly wouldn't do that now. So I think it's right for Inter to either to loan him out ideally or to sell him with a buyback clause. But given that Inter have to make a profit from the transfer market, a net profit of sales minus purchases of plus 60 million euros, and that has to be done by the end of June 2023, when the fiscal year ends,
00:03:23
Speaker
The issue is very simple.
Strategic Reasons for Selling Casade
00:03:25
Speaker
Do you sell Milan Scrinyard, Densel Dumfries, or Cesare Casade? You sell Cesare Casade if you get 20 million pounds for him. Because even though if he turns out to be the next coming of Roberto Bajo, today there's no guarantees that he will become that. Whilst Milan Scrinyard is one of the pillars at Inter. Densel Dumfries is one of the best people can laugh as much as they want, but there's not about his technical ability.
00:03:50
Speaker
Look at his stats. He scores goals, he delivers, and he does well. He's one of the best top 10 right-wing backs in the world. For me, it's a no-brainer.
Possibility of Selling Denzel Dumfries
00:04:04
Speaker
You sell Cesare Casade, it's the lesser of two evils, and that's what Inter have to do in the current financial predicament they're in.
00:04:10
Speaker
So I would love to see him stay and I would love to see Inter maybe use him if they sold Denzel Dumfries to Chelsea for 40, 50 million euros and together with Pinamonte, 15, 20 million, that's 60, 70 million euros you're sorted, then use Casade as a bargaining chip to sign Singo from Torino and then you're sorted.
