Como are preparing a renewed offer for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, according to reports from Italy. The Serie A club will reportedly submit a bid of €30 million, plus a further €5 million in potential add-ons, for the England international. This follows the rejection of a previous offer of €28 million plus €2 million in bonuses.
Chalobah, 24, has been with Chelsea since 2018, progressing through their academy system. He has made over 50 appearances for the first team, primarily as a centre-back, and was a part of the squad that won the Champions League in 2021. However, his playing time has been inconsistent, leading to speculation about a possible move.
The interest from Como comes under new ownership and with a clear ambition to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season. Cesc Fabregas is the manager of Como, and is looking to build a competitive team. Inter are also reportedly monitoring Chalobah’s situation, suggesting a potential bidding war could develop.
For Chelsea, a sale could represent a significant profit on a player who came through their youth ranks, and would also free up space in their squad. The club are undergoing a period of transition under new ownership, and player sales are expected as part of a broader restructuring effort. The potential fee would allow them to reinvest in other areas of the team.
Ylber Ramadani is set to leave Lecce for Turkish side Corum FK, while Massimo Rastelli has been appointed as the new head coach of Bari. Morten Hjulmand is also nearing a move to Atletico Madrid from Sporting, with negotiations ongoing. Elsewhere, Granit Xhaka has decided to remain at Sunderland, disappointing manager Xabi Alonso who had hoped to reunite with the player at Chelsea.
