Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah closes in on Como move as Cesc Fàbregas pushes for deal

Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah is edging closer to a move to Italian side Como, with head coach Cesc Fàbregas playing a leading role in the club’s pursuit of the centre-back.

The Premier League club continue to reshape their squad before the transfer window closes, with several departures expected as Chelsea look to reduce the size of the first-team group while maintaining both sporting and financial balance.

Chalobah has emerged as one of the players who could leave Stamford Bridge during the current transfer window.

The 27-year-old, a product of Chelsea’s academy, has attracted strong interest from Como, where Fàbregas is understood to have identified the defender as a key addition to his squad.

The former Chelsea midfielder reportedly values Chalobah’s experience in the Premier League as well as his versatility, qualities that fit the Italian club’s long-term sporting project.

According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between Chelsea and Como are ongoing as both clubs work towards reaching a final agreement.

The discussions are centred on a transfer valued at around €30 million, with both parties seeking to finalise the financial structure of the deal.

While talks between the clubs continue, progress has already been made on the player’s side.

Chalobah is reported to have agreed personal terms with Como, meaning the remaining obstacle is an agreement between the two clubs over the payment conditions.

Chelsea are expected to continue evaluating offers for players as they streamline the squad ahead of the new campaign, and Chalobah’s potential departure forms part of that wider process.

For Como, signing a defender with extensive Premier League experience would represent another significant step as the Italian club continue strengthening their squad under Fàbregas.

Although the transfer has not yet been completed, negotiations remain active, and a breakthrough could be reached if Chelsea and Como settle the final financial details before the start of the new season.

Until then, the defender’s future remains dependent on the two clubs reaching a definitive agreement to complete the proposed move to Italy.
