Como Submit €25m Bid for Trevoh Chalobah as Chelsea Stand on €35m Valuation

Serie A side Como 1907 have stepped up their pursuit of Trevoh Chalobah by submitting an opening offer worth €25 million, according to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio.

However, Chelsea FC are reportedly holding out for a package worth €35 million, consisting of €30 million guaranteed plus an additional €5 million in performance-related bonuses.

The negotiations highlight Chelsea's determination to maximize the value of the academy graduate, who has attracted interest following his impressive performances whenever called upon. While Chalobah's long-term future at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain, the Blues are not prepared to sanction a cut-price sale.

Como, who have been ambitious in the transfer market since returning to Serie A, view the versatile defender as a key target to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign. Whether the Italian club will improve their bid to meet Chelsea's valuation remains to be seen.

Talks between the two clubs are expected to continue in the coming days as Como weigh up their next move.
