The 23-year-old English defender has been a key player for Chelsea, and Inter are eager to bring him on board to strengthen their defense. The departures of Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij as free agents have left a gap in Inter’s backline, and Chalobah is seen as a crucial signing to address this issue.

Inter are pushing to sign Chalobah in the coming weeks, and talks with the player’s camp are believed to be progressing. The Italian champions are keen to secure a deal before the transfer window closes, and Chalobah’s preference for a move to San Siro is seen as a significant factor in their pursuit.
Chelsea’s Asking Price: €40m
As reported by Gazzetta, Chelsea are seeking a transfer fee of €40m for Chalobah. This figure is higher than the €35m suggested by other sources, including Sky Sport. The Blues are understood to be keen to secure a substantial fee for their young defender, who has been a key player for the club in recent seasons.
Inter, on the other hand, are believed to be willing to meet Chelsea’s asking price, with the Italian champions reportedly willing to pay up to €40m to secure Chalobah’s signature. The deal is seen as a priority for Inter, who are eager to strengthen their defense and challenge for the Serie A title next season.
Como’s Bids Rejected by Chelsea
Como have already had two bids rejected by Chelsea, with the Italian champions unwilling to meet the Blues’ asking price for Chalobah. The Azzurri’s President, Mirwan Suwarso, has reportedly reached out to Beppe Marotta to say that he would not engage in bidding wars with Inter, suggesting that the Italian champions are willing to meet Chelsea’s demands.
The transfer saga is ongoing, with both Inter and Chelsea believed to be keen on securing a deal. With personal terms not expected to be an issue, the transfer fee is seen as the main obstacle to a deal being agreed. Will Inter be able to meet Chelsea’s asking price and secure Chalobah’s signature?
