Casadei: Leaving Inter Milan for Chelsea not easy

Cesare Casadei says he's never had any regrets joining Chelsea last summer.

The midfielder made the surprise move from Inter Milan.

"It's an experience that is teaching me a lot in every aspect," he said. “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.

Asked if Inter was his favourite team, he replied: “I'll be honest, I've never had one. As a football fan, I've always liked the players more than the teams.

“I've just finished the season and I want to disconnect from football for a few days. Afterwards, it will depend on the options that are on the table and my decisions. But, I have a five-year contract with Chelsea.

“I've embarked on a journey that isn't a short term mission. The club is investing in young players and I aim to be part of its project. My ambition is to wear the shirt and play in the Premier League, which is currently the number one league in the world."
