  "account": "Como have secured the signing of Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea for a fee exceeding £30 million, according to BBC Sport. The 27-year-old defender has inked a five-year contract with the Italian club, who are set for Champions League football following their fourth-place finish in Serie A last season. Chelsea will receive an initial payment of £25.7 million for Chalobah, with an additional £5.1 million in performance-related add-ons pending further negotiations. The move marks the end of Chalobah's nearly two-decade tenure at Chelsea, where he made 151 appearances across all competitions and won five trophies, including the FA Cup in 2018 and the Conference League in 2025. Chalobah, who has earned two senior caps for England, was also a late inclusion in the World Cup squad. Como manager Cesc Fabregas welcomed the signing, praising Chalobah as an important addition who can elevate the team's level. Chalobah expressed his delight at joining the club and reuniting with Fabregas. The Ghanaian defender now embarks on a new chapter at Como, as the Italian side looks to bolster their squad for their upcoming Champions League campaign.",
