Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah is reportedly leaning towards a move to Italy this summer, with Inter and Como showing interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Blues could also use the centre-back as part of negotiations with Crystal Palace in their pursuit of Maxence Lacroix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 26-year-old is believed to have made Serie A his preferred destination, with Inter currently leading the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fabrizio Romano reports that Chalobah’s representatives have travelled to Milan for talks with Inter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Serie A side Como remain interested in signing the defender, but Chelsea have already rejected their \u00a322 million bid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The west London club are said to value Chalobah at approximately \u00a335 million, a price that could prove difficult for Como.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The transfer has taken another turn after talkSPORT claimed Chelsea have proposed Chalobah as part of discussions with Crystal Palace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Blues are eager to sign highly-rated defender Maxence Lacroix and could use one of several centre-backs to help facilitate an agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alongside Chalobah, Chelsea are reportedly prepared to offer Tosin Adarabioyo, Axel Disasi, or Benoit Badiashile as part of a package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A return to Selhurst Park would not be unfamiliar for Chalobah, who spent the opening half of the 2024\/25 campaign on loan at Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The defender earned widespread praise under Oliver Glasner after delivering a series of strong performances before Chelsea recalled him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Chelsea’s perspective, selling Chalobah would also make financial sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having progressed through the club’s academy, any transfer fee received would be recorded as pure profit under the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Palace’s interest is unsurprising given Chalobah’s successful loan spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He established himself as a standout defensive performer during his time at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
