What happened
Como, newly promoted to Serie A and backed by Indonesian owners, are reportedly looking to strengthen their squad by bidding for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah. Chalobah, who has struggled for regular first-team football at Stamford Bridge, was previously loaned to Crystal Palace and has been linked with several clubs. The bid amount has not been disclosed. Chelsea are said to be open to selling the academy graduate as they continue to trim their squad.
Chance analysis
Chalobah has been surplus to requirements at Chelsea for some time, making a move likely. Como's ambition and financial backing make them a credible destination, though a Premier League club remains more probable for regular minutes. For Chelsea, another sale would aid PSR compliance and squad streamlining.
Como would gain a Premier League-proven defender if the deal goes through, while Chelsea would lose squad depth at centre-back but gain funds.
Chalobah's potential departure does not significantly impact Chelsea's first-team plans as he is not in Enzo Maresca's regular rotation.
