Here we go! Chelsea sell their defender — Como seal one of the summer’s biggest deals

Como pull off a headline-grabbing transfer.

Details: Italian side Como have finalised talks to sign Chelsea centre-back Trevoh Chalobah. According to Fabrizio Romano, the clubs have reached a verbal agreement, with the deal now at the paperwork stage.

Sources report that Como will pay €30 million as a fixed fee, with another €6 million in potential bonuses. Additionally, Chelsea will retain a sell-on percentage if the English defender is sold in the future.

Chalobah himself was keen on a move to Italy from the start and has given his approval for the transfer. A major factor for the defender was the opportunity to play Champions League football with Como next season.

Now, the parties just need to wrap up the final legal formalities, after which the transfer will be officially announced. For Como, this will go down as one of the most high-profile signings in club history and a crucial reinforcement ahead of their debut in Europe’s premier club competition.
