Trevoh Chalobah Joins Como 1907 in £30 million-plus Deal

England international centre-back Trevoh Chalobah has completed a permanent move from Chelsea to Serie A club Como 1907. He signed a five-year contract until 2031. Reported fees vary: the BBC cites an initial £25.7 million with £5.1 million in add-ons; ESPN and other outlets describe the total as “more than £30 million” (approximately €30 million plus €6 million in bonuses). The transfer ends Chalobah’s 19-year association with Chelsea, where he made 151 appearances and won the FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Conference League and two FIFA Club World Cups.

Chalobah joined Chelsea’s academy at nine, winning the UEFA Youth League in 2016 and two FA Youth Cups. He gained senior experience on loan at Ipswich Town, Huddersfield Town, Lorient and Crystal Palace before breaking into the first team. Internationally, he earned two senior England caps and was a late call-up to the 2026 World Cup squad.

The acquisition strengthens Como’s defence ahead of their inaugural Champions League campaign. Chalobah’s experience at the highest levels of European competition should aid a side that has just broken into the continent’s elite tournament. For Chelsea, the sale contributes to a broader squad-size reduction under manager Xabi Alonso.
