Real Betis have been searching for a new midfielder since the summer, when they failed in a late bid to land Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid. Since then, their situation has become more dire following the injuries of William Carvalho, Marc Roca and Johnny Cardoso, so a signing is likely to be on the agenda in January.
According to Tuttomercatoweb (via ED), Chelsea youngster Cesare Casadei is one of the players being considered by Betis. The 21-year-old which has also attracted interest from Villarreal in the last weeks, he needed a loan, and he moved to the Benito Villamarin will be seen as favorable for all parties.
Casadei could be a good addition to the team of Manuel Pellegrini, and a temporary agreement would be beneficial for Betis before addressing his defensive midfield options again next summer. It remains to be seen if this is a deal that can be done, although Chelsea will certainly not make it difficult.
