Como have reached a full agreement with Chelsea to sign central defender Trevoh Chalobah.
According to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, a deal is now in place for an initial €30 million plus €6m in add-ons.
The 27-year-old English defender had already agreed long-term personal terms with Como several weeks ago, leaving the formal club agreement as the final major hurdle.
Despite demonstrating versatility and strong defensive qualities across several Premier League campaigns, Chelsea’s ongoing squad restructuring resulted in the defender seeking a fresh challenge.
Como identified Chalobah early in the transfer window as their primary target to anchor their defence.
The Italian club moved quickly to negotiate terms with the player’s representatives, securing his commitment weeks ago before finalising a deal with Chelsea.
The sale represents significant pure profit under financial regulations, given Chalobah’s status as a home-grown player.
Acquiring a Premier League-proven centre-back is a clear statement of intent by Como.
Chalobah’s arrival brings leadership and physical presence to their backline as they prepare for their first Champions League campaign.
With a full agreement between the clubs and long-term personal terms finalised, Chalobah is expected to travel to Italy shortly to undergo a medical and sign his contract.
More defensive departures are expected at Stamford Bridge with Axel Disasi wanted by Crystal Palace, while Benoit Badiashile is a target for Napoli and Juventus.
