Trevoh Chalobah just earned a surprise call-up to England’s 2026 World Cup squad. His reward for that career milestone might be a summer of transfer limbo at Chelsea.
The 26-year-old centre-back, contracted at Stamford Bridge until June 2028, has attracted interest from multiple European clubs this window. Como and Inter Milan are among the Serie A sides reportedly keen on bringing him to Italy, though negotiations remain stuck on one familiar problem: Chelsea thinks he’s worth more than buyers want to pay.
The valuation standoff
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on June 22 that Como has shown serious interest in Chalobah, but a significant gap exists between what Chelsea wants and what Como is willing to spend.
Chelsea’s position is an interesting one. Under manager Xabi Alonso, the club is open to entertaining offers for Chalobah but is not actively trying to push him out the door.
