Chelsea could cash in on Trevoh Chalobah if an exciting offer arrives that suits all parties, with Inter Milan keen on the 24-year-old.
According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea will ponder the sale of Trevoh Chalobah if an exciting offer comes in. There’s interest from Italy in the 24-year-old defender, with the Blues ready to consider proposals that meet their £25 million valuation.
Chelsea have already offloaded many of their previous first-teamers, and they might not stop yet. Many others in this squad could leave the club for the right price. The club hierarchy opted to sell two prominent homegrown players, Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, with Trevoh Chalobah probably the next in line.
Chalobah had a mixed season under three different managers. He was used sporadically by Thomas Tuchel and then Graham Potter but started all nine games under Frank Lampard. The 24-year-old defender could play centrally and as a right-back, thus making himself a useful option during difficult times.
Chelsea could cash in on the 24-year-old defender if the right offer comes in. They reportedly value Chalobah close to £25 million, which may bother some of his suitors. Last month, amid growing interest from Italy, the centre-back hinted at being open to moving to the country if an opportunity presented itself.
Inter Milan remains the primary suitor from Italy, as they may have discussed a deal with Chelsea for the defender. There were suggestions of a loan, but the Blues might prefer to sell him outright. They have previously sold at least two stars to Serie A, with both going on to have a good time there.
Chalobah could follow suit as he targets regular football to break into the England setup. The report suggests the 24-year-old defender is far behind in the pecking order. One of those who remain ahead is Levi Colwill, who reportedly has rejected a new contract offer from Chelsea.
The club considers the former Brighton loanee a key star for their first team. If he ends up staying, then Chalobah could leave. The 24-year-old wants to fight for his place here but may not get equal opportunities to stake a claim.
Moreover, a sale would benefit Chelsea financially, as they will see any deal as total profit on their books owing to Chalobah’s homegrown status. Hence, a move could materialise in the coming weeks, with Italy looking like the likeliest destination for the 24-year-old if he leaves.
