Medical Scheduled in Italy
Chalobah is anticipated to arrive in Italy for his medical exam either on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. While negotiations had taken several weeks to conclude – in part due to Inter’s earlier interest and subsequent withdrawal following a non-aggression pact between the two Serie A clubs – an accelerated conclusion was finally reached.
Player Background and Como’s Rise
The defender, who celebrated his 27th birthday last month, was a member of the England squad that secured the bronze medal at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico. A graduate of Chelsea’s youth system, he has previously spent time on loan at Ipswich Town, Huddersfield, Lorient, and Crystal Palace.
Como’s acquisition comes as the club enjoy a period of significant progression under coach Cesc Fabregas. Having been in Serie B just two years ago, Como have now risen to qualify for the Champions League for the first time ever, heralding a new chapter in their history.
