Chelsea on verge of €35m transfer exit – Agreement has been reached

Como have made advances in their pursuit of Chelsea‘s Trevoh Chalobah and are edging closer to completing his signing.

Earlier this month, Sport Witness relayed news the centre-back favoured Inter Milan over Como, who made multiple bids.

The Serie A winners have found it difficult to meet Chelsea’s €35m price. Meanwhile, Cesc Fàbregas’ side haven’t given up and are likely to end up securing his services.

Como held talks with Inter about Chelsea player

Como president Mirwan Suwarso has revealed a discussion with Inter Milan chairman and CEO, Giuseppe Marotta, about the England international, and Tuttosport have relayed his comments.

“We’ve been the subject of media reports about us competing with another Italian team for a British player,” he said.

“I said, ‘You know what? Why don’t I call the president of the other team and ask him, ‘Do you want him?’ If you want him, go ahead, we’ll back out. But if you buy him, give me one of your players.’ And he said, ‘Thanks for the call. I appreciate it, we’ll let you know by the end of the day. If we don’t go ahead, these are the other objectives we were pursuing. We’re happy to share them with you.’ So, for me, this type of relationship is beneficial for both clubs; it helps us all grow.”

Como moving forward to sign Chelsea man

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports Xabi Alonso’s side have rejected two bids from Como for the 27-year-old.

There’s no mention of the figures or about a new offer for the defender.

However, he states the ‘parties have reached an agreement, and Trevoh Chalobah is ready to wear the Como shirt’. It’s not clear whether Como have agreed terms with the player, the Blues or both.

Either way, there’s confidence the move will go through as Di Marzio says Cesc Fàbregas’ side are ‘ready to close the deal’. There’s a ‘final meeting scheduled’ to iron out the last details of the operation.

Chalobah, who joined Chelsea in 2007, climbed through their ranks and made his first team debut in 2018. Since then, he’s had four loan spells and will leave for Como this summer.
