Como agree £31m deal to sign Chalobah from Chelsea
Como agree a deal worth more than £30m to sign Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah.
BBC Sport reports that Como have reached a £31m agreement to sign Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah. The 27-year-old England international, who has spent nearly two decades at Chelsea, is expected to join the Italian club on a long-term contract and take on a leadership role under manager Cesc Fabregas. Chelsea will receive £25.7m upfront, with an additional £5.1m in potential add-ons following negotiations.
The deal closely matches Chelsea's asking price of £30m plus £5m in add-ons, following multiple offers over the past six months, including interest from Inter Milan. The move is part of Chelsea's strategy to reduce the size of manager Xabi Alonso's squad, which currently includes nine senior centre-backs.
