Fabregas views Chalobah’s Premier League experience and versatility as essential components for Como’s project. With personal terms already settled, finalising the move relies on reaching a consensus over the guaranteed structural terms of the transfer.

Chelsea’s outgoings this summer transfer window 26/27

Should Chalobah complete his move to Serie A, he will join a notable list of departures from Stamford Bridge during a busy summer clear-out under the BlueCo ownership group.

Chelsea have focused on streamlining their squad while raising significant capital through player trading.

Key departures for Chelsea so far in the window include:

• Marc Cucurella: The Spanish left-back completed a permanent transfer to Real Madrid.
• Andrey Santos: The midfielder secured a high-profile domestic transfer to Manchester United.
• Alejandro Garnacho: The winger departed on a season-long loan move to Aston Villa.
• Tyrique George: The academy product completed a permanent move to Everton.

With Fabregas driving Como’s pursuit, both clubs hope to finalize Chalobah’s transfer shortly.
