Como 1907 has tabled an opening offer of approximately £23.3 million (€27 million) for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, kicking off what could become a multi-club pursuit for the 26-year-old center-back. Chelsea, predictably, is not rushing to accept.
The Blues reportedly value Chalobah at around €35 million, which translates to somewhere in the £30-35 million range. That’s a gap of roughly £7-12 million between what Como is willing to pay and what Chelsea wants.
Why Chelsea is open to selling
Chalobah has been part of the Chelsea ecosystem since 2007, progressing from the youth setup through various loan spells, including time at Crystal Palace, and into the first team. Chalobah’s recent lack of playing time at Chelsea appears to be driving the club’s willingness to entertain offers. The Blues have reportedly prioritized him for a transfer as part of a broader defensive reshuffling. Chelsea is actively pursuing other center-back targets, with Crystal Palace’s Maxence Lacroix reportedly high on their list.
For Chalobah, the motivation extends beyond club football. As an England international at 26, he’s reportedly keen to secure regular playing time ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
