\n<\/p>\n

Chelsea and Como are moving closer to an agreement over a summer transfer after the Italian club submitted an improved package for Trevoh Chalobah.
<\/strong>
The new proposal is worth \u20ac25 million upfront with a further \u20ac5 million in easily achievable add-ons, making the overall value close to a guaranteed \u20ac30 million.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old is reportedly keen on joining Como, where he would work under former Chelsea midfielder Cesc F\u00e0bregas and compete in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are strengthening their defence with the expected arrival of Maxence Lacroix, which could make them more willing to sanction Chalobah\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n

Negotiations remain active, but the combination of an improved offer and the player\u2019s approval has given the deal real momentum.<\/p>\n

Como improve proposal as Chelsea talks continue<\/h2>\n

According to Fabrizio Romano, Como have been pursuing Chalobah for several weeks after identifying the England international as one of their leading defensive targets.<\/p>\n

Como offer \u20ac25m fixed fee and \u20ac5m add-ons but easy ones to reach, making package worth \u20ac30m almost guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Their latest offer includes a \u20ac25 million fixed payment and \u20ac5 million in bonuses that are considered relatively straightforward to trigger.<\/p>\n

Chelsea previously rejected Como\u2019s approaches because they valued the academy graduate more highly.<\/p>\n

However, the revised structure brings the Italian club closer to the Blues\u2019 demands and provides a strong foundation for further discussions.<\/p>\n

Yahoo Sports previously reported that Chelsea had rejected two Como bids but remained in negotiations, suggesting the London club were seeking an improved package rather than completely closing the door.<\/p>\n

Sale would make financial sense for the Blues<\/h2>\n

From Como\u2019s perspective, Chalobah would be an ambitious signing. He offers Premier League experience, physical strength and the flexibility to operate in either a back three or a traditional central-defensive partnership.<\/p>\n

His desire to move also gives Como confidence that personal terms should not become an obstacle.<\/p>\n

For Chelsea, selling an academy graduate would generate significant profit in their accounts, while also creating space in a crowded defensive department.<\/p>\n

Lacroix\u2019s expected arrival means Chalobah may no longer be guaranteed the prominent role he enjoyed last season.<\/p>\n

\u20ac30 million is a little below Chalobah\u2019s true value, particularly after his consistent performances for Chelsea and involvement with England.<\/p>\n

However, the club must also consider his contract position and willingness to move.<\/p>\n

If the bonuses are almost guaranteed, accepting the package could suit everyone.<\/p>\n

Como would gain a reliable defender entering his prime, while Chelsea could reinvest the money and avoid keeping another valuable player without a clearly defined role.<\/p>\n
