Como have agreed a deal worth more than \u00a330m to sign Chelsea<\/a> defender Trevoh Chalobah.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old is expected to sign a long-term contract and take on a leadership role under manager Cesc Fabregas at the Italian club, who secured Champions League qualification by finishing fourth in Serie A last season.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> will receive an initial \u00a325.7m, with a further \u00a35.1m available in add-ons following protracted negotiations.<\/p>\n

The package is close to Chelsea<\/a>‘s asking price of \u00a330m plus \u00a35m in add-ons after multiple offers dating back from early June, alongside interest from Inter Milan. <\/p>\n

Former Chelsea<\/a> and Arsenal<\/a> midfielder Fabregas has been keen to sign Chalobah and had been targeting him for more than six months.<\/p>\n

The England international will leave his boyhood club after nearly 20 years, having joined Chelsea<\/a> as a child.<\/p>\n

The move forms part of an effort at Stamford Bridge to reduce the size of new manager Xabi Alonso’s squad.<\/p>\n

The Blues have signed Maxence Lacroix, 26, from Crystal Palace<\/a> for \u00a352m, adding both experience and height to their defence.<\/p>\n

They still have nine senior centre-backs on their books, including Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Tosin Adarabioyo, Josh Acheampong, Benoit Badiashile, Aaron Anselmino, Axel Disasi and Mamadou Sarr.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> are keen to offload Disasi and Badiashile and could send Sarr or Acheampong out on loan, potentially to another Premier League club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Como have agreed a deal worth more than \u00a330m to sign Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah.
