Como is on the verge of securing a major defensive reinforcement after agreeing a transfer with Chelsea for England international Trevoh Chalobah.
Chalobah is expected to complete his medical checks before signing a five‑year contract, with the total package potentially reaching around £30 million.
The club aims to strengthen its centre‑back line ahead of Champions League commitments, and Chalobah brings Premier League experience, versatility and leadership to the squad.
The deal involves an initial fee of roughly £25 million, with an additional £5 million available through performance‑related bonuses, and the player will be contracted until 2031.
Chalobah’s ability to operate in both a back three and a traditional four‑man defence, coupled with his comfort in covering large spaces and stepping into midfield, makes him a valuable asset for Como’s tactical plans.
Chelsea’s recent squad changes and heightened competition at the centre‑back position have made the sale financially attractive, while the transfer fee will be recorded as a pure profit for the club.
The agreement also includes a sell‑on clause, allowing Chelsea to benefit again if Como later transfers the defender for a higher fee.
For Chalobah, the move offers regular first‑team football and a prominent role in Champions League matches, while Como gains a player in his prime years who can immediately improve defensive organization and physicality.
Overall, the acquisition is viewed as excellent business for Como, with the significant fee justified by Chalobah’s experience, versatility, and potential impact on the team’s performance.
