Como table improved 30m offer for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah
Como table improved 30m offer for Chelsea defender Trevoh ChalobahItalian side Como have submitted an improved formal offer to Chelsea for versatile defender Trevoh Chalobah, with direct negotiations ongoing to finalise an agreement. Xabi Alonso is at Stamford Bridge.The ambitious Serie A club have structured a new proposal worth a guaranteed 25 million, plus 5m in performance-related add-ons. Crucially, the add-ons are understood to be highly attainable, effectively ensuring the total fee reaches 30 million to satisfy Chelseas valuation.This move follows an earlier opening bid from Como that fell short of Chelseas expectations. While the Blues hierarchy initially held out for a premium fee for their academy graduate, this upgraded, nearly guaranteed arrangement has significantly narrowed the valuation gap between the two clubs.From the players perspective, Chalobah is said to be very keen on a move to Lombardy. The 27-year-old English defender is attracted by the sporting project under manager Cesc Fabregas, where he would be guaranteed a central role in the defence. Having spent recent seasons on the fringes at Chelsea, Chalobah sees a move to Italy as the ideal opportunity to re-establish himself as a regular starter.Negotiations between Chelsea and Como remain active as the two clubs work to finalise the details of a deal. With personal terms not expected to pose any obstacle, given the players eagerness to join Fabregas side, momentum is building toward a swift resolution in the coming days.Chalobahs impending departure comes as Chelsea close in on the signing of Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace, having agreed a deal for the Frenchman who is set to undergo a medical today.
