Trevoh Chalobah is reportedly moving closer to joining Como as the Serie A club prepare a package worth around €30million for the Chelsea defender.
Nicolò Schira claims Como have stepped up their pursuit after Galatasaray rejected an offer for Colombia international Davinson Sánchez.
Cesc Fàbregas’ side have now turned their attention back towards Chalobah and are prepared to offer the academy graduate a contract until 2031.
No agreement between Chelsea and Como has yet been officially confirmed. However, the latest report suggests the Italian club are moving closer to Chelsea’s valuation.
A live transfer update also reports that Chalobah is closing in on a move to Como, with the potential package placed at around £30m.
Como push to reach Chelsea agreement
Chelsea have already rejected previous Como approaches for Chalobah.
The Blues have been seeking a package worth around £35m for the England international, who remains under contract at Stamford Bridge.
As Read Chelsea reported following Crystal Palace’s recent enquiry, Inter Milan and Como have remained interested without matching Chelsea’s full asking price.
Chalobah made 47 appearances across all competitions last season and rebuilt his position after returning from a loan spell at Crystal Palace.
However, Chelsea remain open to a sale as Xabi Alonso reshapes his defensive options. The club are also pursuing Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix.
A move to Como would reunite Chalobah with former Chelsea midfielder Fàbregas and offer him Champions League football next season.
Como still need to reach a full agreement with Chelsea, but their failed Sánchez pursuit appears to have increased the urgency around Chalobah.
