Overview
- Como submitted an improved formal offer on Friday that structured the fee as €25 million guaranteed plus €5 million in performance add‑ons, taking the package to about €30 million.
- Chelsea have repeatedly rejected earlier bids and have asked Como to increase the valuation, with outlets reporting the club wants a larger guaranteed fee than the current packaged proposal.
- Trevoh Chalobah is reported to be keen on joining Cesc Fàbregas at Como where he would be offered regular starts and Champions League football.
- Chelsea’s expected signing of Maxence Lacroix is shifting the defensive pecking order and adds urgency to Chelsea’s willingness to sell Chalobah if an acceptable fee is reached.
- Journalists differ over how easily the €5 million in add‑ons would be triggered, the outcome remains unresolved, and talks are ongoing with no agreement finalised.
