Como Close In on Chelsea Defender as Inter Back Away

Inter won’t make another offer for Trevoh Chalobah for the time being, so Como have an opening to snare him, provided they meet Chelsea’s request. The Lariani have already made two bids for the defender, €25M plus €2M add-ons, then €28M with the same amount of bonuses, but they were rebuffed, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The Nerazzurri talked primarily with his entourage but never tendered a formal proposal. The Blues ask for a €35M package. The Serie A side is working to reduce the demand a little, but the parties aren’t too distant.

Como are also tracking Davinson Sanchez as an alternative for Chalobah, while Inter have decided to make a similar investment on the right wing. They are focusing their efforts on Djed Spence. Christian Chivu likes him a lot and prefers him over other targets.

The English center-back has often been linked to Serie A when he wasn’t a regular. Instead, he was a fixture in 2025/2026, accumulating 47 appearances, driving up his price tag. Instead, the Nerazzurri haven’t zeroed in on any man in the same position. They were plotting a twofer, but they are now simply considering keeping Benjamin Pavard. He needs to mend fences with the coach and the rest of the group after past disagreements and unwelcome behaviors.

Our Take on Chalobah, Como, and Inter

The champions will eventually have to make up their minds, as they have jumped from option to option, some very dissimilar from the others, without going hard on any. Still, it’s not their main priority, so it’s fair for them to be surgical, all things considered. Instead, the Biancoblù do need a dependable, muscular, and ready-made contributor.
