Chelsea are facing a battle prise Cesare Casadei away from Inter Milan.

Chelsea have had one bid for the youngster rejected by Inter - though have been informed the Nerazzurri are willing to do business.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says Chelsea tried for the young midfielder earlier in the summer and wanted him in the deal that saw Romelu Lukaku return to Italy on loan last month. However, Inter refused the suggestion.

Chelsea returned with a new offer of €8m this week for the 19-year-old. However, Inter have rejected the bid and have demanded €20m.

It remains to be seen whether or not Chelsea will increase their offer but the same report claims that Inter's demand to include a buy-back option is something they are not willing to entertain.
