Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has admitted that move to Italy is enticing amid speculation he may head to Serie A this summer.
Chalobah had a topsy-turvy past season at Stamford Bridge and has failed to become a prominent starter for the Blues. He made 33 appearances across competitions, helping his side keep nine clean sheets.
Speculation is growing over the English defender’s future despite the 23-year-old having five years left on his contract. Reports claim that Serie A giants Inter Milan are interested in signing him.
Chalobah has opened up on a potential move to the Italian league by talking up the prospect of living in the country. He said (via Fabrizio Romano):
“Moving to Italy? We never know what happens, I like Italy — it’s nice country. But I’m under contract at Chelsea. Level is high in Serie A, they have very good teams and I also like how’s life in this country.”
A move for Chalobah to Serie A would see him follow in the footsteps of his fellow countryman Fikayo Tomori. The 25-year-old joined AC Milan from Chelsea in 2021 and has become one of Italian football’s most highly-regarded defenders.
Inter are on the lookout for a new defender following Milan Skriniar’s anticipated move to Paris Saint-Germain. The Slovakian is set to join the Parisians as a free agent when his contract expires at the end of this month.
