According to The Pitch Prospect, Torino are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Cesare Casadei.
The Blues are ready to offload the Italian, who signed a £16million deal from Inter Milan in 2022, in a bid to trim down their squad.

Casadei has only played 11 Premier League games for Chelsea, all of which he came on as a substitute.
During his time at Stamford Bridge he played on loan at Reading and Leicester City but could leave in January.
A move to Turin would see Casadei return to Serie A in Italy, although he did not play in the league during his time at Inter.
The 21-year-old would join former Premier League striker Che Adams following his move from Southampton in the summer.
Chelsea are also understood to be willing to sell former Aston Villa star Carney Chukwuemeka if his £40million release clause is met.
The midfielder moved from Birmingham to London in 2022 and played 32 times for the club, scoring two goals.
Chukwuemeka missed much of last season with a knee injury sustained after scoring in the 3-1 loss to West Ham.
He has only played five games for Chelsea this season and has not been named in any Premier League squad.
The Pitch Prospect reported in August that Barcelona, alongside Premier League and European teams, are long-standing admirers of Chukwuemeka.
Chelsea have a lot of competition for places in midfield this season under Enzo Maresca.

Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez were consistent starters for the Blues, and Romeo Lavia also earned his minutes.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was acquired from Leicester in the summer, and new signing Renato Veiga was also able to play as a midfielder.
Casadei and Chukwuemeka may not be the only departures in January, with Ben Chilwell potentially facing the end of his spell at Chelsea.
The left-back, who won the Champions League with the club in 2021, was told in the summer that he was not part of Maresca’s plans.
Chelsea could look to strengthen in the January transfer window as they prepare for a busy second half of the season.
Maresca’s side sit fourth in the Premier League after their 2-0 defeat to Ipswich Town on Monday night.
