Trevoh Chalobah has officially completed his transfer to Como, departing Chelsea after a long tenure at the London club. The deal is reported to be worth €30 million plus additional performance-related bonuses. The 27-year-old defender has committed his future to the Italian side by signing a contract that will keep him at the club until June 2031.
The move follows several weeks of drawn-out negotiations. At one stage, Como had stepped back from the pursuit due to a non-aggression pact with Inter, but they resumed talks once the Nerazzurri deemed the financial terms—specifically the €30 million asking price plus add-ons—too expensive. Chalobah traveled to Italy on Wednesday to undergo his medical examinations, with the official announcement arriving today.
Chalobah, a product of the Chelsea youth academy, expressed his excitement about the new chapter. He described the transfer as an opportunity to join an ambitious and rising project, highlighting the significance of reuniting with manager Cesc Fabregas. The defender stated he is honored to be at the club and is eager to contribute his experience, connect with the supporters, and help the team make history.
Fabregas, who previously played alongside Chalobah at Chelsea, noted that he has been impressed by the defender's development, which recently earned him a spot in the England squad for the 2026 World Cup. According to the manager, the signing represents the club's high level of ambition. Fabregas praised the player's strength, speed, and technical ability to build play from the back, describing him as a leader who will elevate the squad's performance. Chelsea also acknowledged the defender's departure, offering a public farewell to the player who spent his formative years at Stamford Bridge.
