  "account": "Como FC has secured the signature of England centre-back Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea for a reported transfer fee of €30 million (US$34.5 million), the Italian club confirmed on Sunday. The 27-year-old has committed to a five-year contract with his new employers, who will compete in the Champions League for the first time this season. Chalobah expressed his excitement about joining an ambitious side, eager to benefit from the intense atmosphere at the stadium and connect with fans. He pledged to give his utmost effort to contribute to the team's success in the upcoming campaign. Como edged out AC Milan and Juventus for the final Champions League spot last season, while Inter Milan also showed interest but ultimately decided the price was too steep. Como's coach, Cesc Fabregas, a former Chelsea midfielder, highlighted the importance of Chalobah's signing, emphasizing his leadership qualities and ability to elevate the team's performance. Chalobah was called up to the England squad for the World Cup, replacing Tino Livramento after serving a late notice. He is set to make his debut for Como in their opening Serie A match against Udinese on August 22.",
