  "account": "Como have secured the signing of Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah in a deal exceeding £30 million. The 27-year-old Englishman has inked a five-year contract with the Serie A side, who secured a Champions League spot by finishing fourth last season. Chelsea will receive £25.7 million upfront, with an additional £5.1 million in potential add-ons post-negotiations. Chalobah, who boasts two senior England caps and a World Cup call-up, departs his hometown club after nearly two decades, having joined Chelsea as a youth player. Como's Cesc Fabregas hailed the signing as a crucial addition and a player embodying the club's ambition, stating he is delighted Chalobah chose Como. Chalobah expressed his excitement and honor at joining the ambitious and rising Como project, praising the return to working alongside former Chelsea manager Cesc Fabregas. The England international amassed 151 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions, claiming five trophies, including the FA Cup in 2018 and the Conference League in 2025. Chalobah also experienced loan stints with Ipswich, Huddersfield, Lorient, and Crystal Palace.",
