Como Seal Verbal Agreement for Chelsea Defender

Written by Peter Ogboaka

Serie A side Como have reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea to sign defender Trevoh Chalobah in a deal worth up to €36 million, with all parties now closing in on completing the transfer.

The agreement between the two clubs has been finalized after Chalobah gave his approval to the move several weeks ago, making it clear that he was keen on a new challenge in Italy. The transfer is now expected to move to the final stages, with official documentation and medical procedures set to follow.

The financial package includes a fixed fee of €30 million, with an additional €6 million in performance-related add-ons. Chelsea have also negotiated a sell-on clause, ensuring they could benefit financially from any future transfer involving the defender.

Chalobah, a product of Chelsea’s academy, has spent several seasons with the Blues and established himself as a dependable option across the back line. His versatility, ability to play as a centre-back or right-sided defender, and composure on the ball have made him a valuable asset throughout his time at Stamford Bridge.

For Como, the signing represents another ambitious move as the club continues to strengthen its squad ahead of the new Serie A campaign. Bringing in a player with Premier League experience underlines the club’s determination to compete at the highest level in Italian football.

Chelsea, meanwhile, continue reshaping their squad during the summer transfer window, with Chalobah’s departure creating additional flexibility as the club pursues its long-term plans.

While the deal is yet to be officially announced, all major terms have reportedly been agreed, leaving only the final formalities before Chalobah is unveiled as a new Como player.

The move is expected to become official in the coming days, marking another significant transfer in what has been a busy summer window for both clubs.
