Como send initial bid for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah | OneFootball

Chelsea have received a bid for centre-back Trevoh Chalobah from Como, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Inter Milan are also interested in signing the 26-year-old.

Chalobah was one of the many Chelsea players who struggled last season, falling below the standards he set towards the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

He has two years left on his deal, and this might be the best time to get a fee for him.

Chelsea have been linked with Como defender Jacobo Ramon, which could pave the way for a move for Chalnoah.

Chelsea should hold on to Chalobah

Chelsea would be making a mistake if they sacrificed Chalobah this summer.

While he did not produce a flawless campaign, he still outperformed several of the club’s other central defenders over the course of the season.

Wesley Fofana once again struggled to stay fit, denying Chelsea any consistency at the back.

Tosin Adarabioyo and Benoit Badiashile were also poor, while Mamadou Sarr is an unproven talent at the highest level.

Chalobah has shown that he can perform in the Premier League, is comfortable in different defensive systems, and rarely lets the occasion overwhelm him.

He is also homegrown, an increasingly valuable asset under Premier League and UEFA squad registration rules. The Blues cannot discard those qualities lightly.

If Chelsea are serious about rebuilding a defence to challenge for honours, they should move on players who have contributed less or whose long-term outlook is less convincing.

Chalobah has established a reputation as a reliable, experienced defender with room to grow. The lack of comparable interest in Fofana, Tosin, Badiashile or Sarr speaks volumes.
