Como have submitted a new offer to Chelsea worth €30 million plus add-ons for defender Trevoh Chalobah, according to reports in Italy. The bid comes after an initial pact with Inter not to pursue the player fell through, paving the way for the newly promoted Serie A side to step up their interest.
Non-Aggression Pact Falls Through
Earlier this week, Como President Mirwan Suwarso revealed that he had struck a gentleman's agreement with Inter counterpart Beppe Marotta over Chalobah. Speaking on a podcast, Suwarso explained:
"If you want him, you go for it, we’ll back out. But if you buy him, then give me one of yours."
However, Inter have baulked at Chelsea's €35 million asking price, leaving the door open for Como to reignite their pursuit. The Italian giants are reportedly unwilling to meet that valuation, allowing Como to make their move.
Fresh Bid Details
According to multiple outlets, including Gazzetta dello Sport and FCInterNews, Como have tabled an offer of €30 million plus performance-related bonuses. While still short of Chelsea's initial asking price, the structure could sweeten the deal for the London club.
Chalobah, who featured for England at the 2026 World Cup, is keen to secure regular first-team football. Chelsea are open to selling the 27-year-old as they look to trim their squad, and a move to Serie A could appeal.
What Happens Next?
Chelsea must now decide whether to accept the latest offer or hold out for more. With Inter out of the picture, Como have a clear run at negotiating personal terms with the player. The deal could be concluded swiftly if Chelsea give the green light.
This move would represent a significant coup for Como, who are preparing for their return to the top flight and are determined to bolster their defensive options with proven quality.
