Chelsea midfielder Cesare Casadei has been attracting enquiries from Torino, Monza, Lazio and Leicester City.
The Italian spent half a season on loan at the King Power Stadium in the back half of 2023, scoring three goals in 25 matches for the side ahead of their promotion.
He had progressed through the youth ranks at Inter Milan before joining the Blues in 2022 but he has featured just 17 times for the west London side.
This campaign, he has been limited to five appearances in the UEFA Conference League and just one in the EFL Cup for Enzo Maresca‘s resurgent side.
New Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy will be keen to add some composure to his midfield ahead of what is likely to be a tense relegation run-in.
The Foxes currently lie in 19th place after sacking Steve Cooper and have lost their last four matches in the league.
