Serie A battle heats up: Como join Inter Milan in chase for England defender Trevoh Chalobah

Trevoh Chalobah is at the centre of a growing Serie A transfer battle, with newly ambitious Como and giants Inter Milan both monitoring the Chelsea defender ahead of a potential summer switch.

Reports indicate that Como have already taken the lead in the race, submitting an official bid for the 26-year-old, who is currently on World Cup duty with England.

The club, managed by former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fàbregas, are continuing an aggressive recruitment drive following their qualification for European competition and see Chalobah as a statement signing capable of strengthening their defensive core.

Fàbregas’ influence has been central to Como’s rise, with the club determined to add Premier League experience and physicality to their squad as they prepare for a more demanding campaign on the continental stage.

Inter monitoring situation as Chelsea weigh options

While Como have moved decisively, Inter Milan are also tracking developments closely as they assess defensive options for the upcoming season. The Serie A contenders are understood to view Chalobah as a versatile addition who could fit into their long-term squad planning.

Chelsea FC, however, are not under pressure to sell. The defender remains under contract until 2028, giving the London club a strong negotiating position despite reported openness to offers in the right circumstances.

Chalobah’s stock has risen over the past season after a consistent run of performances, featuring 47 appearances and three Premier League goals, underlining his growing influence at Stamford Bridge.

Rising value after breakthrough campaign

The defender’s development has not gone unnoticed across Europe, with both Serie A sides believing a deal could be possible if Chelsea decide to reshuffle their squad. His ability to operate across the back line has added to his appeal, particularly for clubs looking for tactical flexibility.
