Trevoh Chalobah looks increasingly likely to swap Stamford Bridge for Serie A this summer as the race for his signature intensifies in Italy. The defender, currently away with the England squad at the World Cup, has become a primary target for Italian giants Inter and ambitious newcomers Como, who have already submitted an initial bid for his services.
Real Madrid's hope of executing a quick-fire financial masterstroke with Nico Paz has been dashed by transfer regulations. The Spanish giants had planned to trigger a bargain buy-back clause for the Argentine playmaker before flipping him for an immediate €50 million (£43m/$57m) profit, but the move is now legally impossible this summer.
Chelsea are prepared to listen to offers for Trevoh Chalobah this summer as the defender attracts interest from across Europe, including Italian side Como. Despite being a regular fixture in the side last season, the academy graduate is no longer considered untouchable as the club looks to reshape its backline under new leadership.
Como are exploring an ambitious move for Dani Carvajal as Cesc Fabregas looks to add experience and quality ahead of the club’s first Champions League campaign. The Italian side are also tracking Real Madrid youngsters Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios while preparing for the likely departure of Nico Paz.
Martin Baturina has emerged as one of the most coveted young talents in Europe following a sensational campaign under Cesc Fabregas' Como in Italy. The Croatian playmaker’s performances have put him firmly in the shop window, with heavyweights from the Premier League and Bundesliga ready to test the resolve of the Serie A surprise package.
