Chelsea centre-back Trevoh Chalobah is being linked with a move to Serie A side Como, with the England-Sierra Leone defender reportedly a 57% possibility to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
The 26-year-old, who was born in Freetown and stands at 1.92m, is currently valued at €40.00m by Transfermarkt, a figure that underlines the scale of the speculation given Como’s more modest status in Italy’s top flight. There is no public record of a fixed contract expiry date for Chalobah at Chelsea, prompting talk that the London club could be open to a sale rather than risk him running down his deal and edging towards free-agent territory in future windows.
Chalobah, who wears the No 23 shirt and is a right-footed central defender, has operated primarily at centre-back but has also been used across the back line during his time at Chelsea. He has come through the club’s system and has experience in the Premier League, but his long-term role has often been the subject of debate amid heavy competition for defensive places.
Recent appearances have kept him in the shop window. In his latest outing for Chelsea – a Premier League fixture earlier this month in which the Blues faced top-flight opposition, with Chalobah featuring in the back line – his performance again highlighted his physical presence and comfort stepping into midfield, attributes that are understood to appeal to Como as they look to consolidate in Serie A.
Chalobah holds dual nationality with England and Sierra Leone, and interest from abroad offers a potential fresh chapter away from west London. Should the proposed move materialise, a switch to Como could redefine his career trajectory, giving him a leading role in Italy and the platform to rebuild his reputation as a first-choice defender at the highest level.
