Chelsea are reportedly prepared to sanction a move for centre‐back Trevoh Chalobah this summer, according to Football Insider amid growing interest from fellow Premier League side Aston Villa.
The 26-year-old English defender, a product of Chelsea’s academy, has become a regular starter in the Blues’ back line this season but faces an uncertain future should the club complete its planned defensive overhaul.
CHELSEA are understood to be willing to allow Chalobah to leave Stamford Bridge only if they secure a senior centre-back replacement first, highlighting the value the club still places on him.
Despite his consistent performances under manager Liam Rosenior, sustained interest from Villa — who see Chalobah as a potential upgrade on their current options — could spark movement in the transfer market this summer.
Chalobah’s journey at Chelsea has been one of ups and downs. After a loan spell at Crystal Palace, he returned and claimed a regular place in the first-team defence earlier in the campaign, showcasing his versatility, leadership and commitment at the heart of the Blues’ back line.
However, reinforcements in defensive positions and shifting tactical plans mean his future at the club is far from secure.
As the summer window approaches, Villa are reportedly leading the chase, and Chelsea’s willingness to negotiate could hinge on broader transfer business. With Champions League ambitions and squad balance in mind, the Blues’ hierarchy faces a delicate balancing act: strengthening the squad while retaining experienced, homegrown talent

There are strong reasons for him to stay at Stamford Bridge. Chalobah has deep roots at CHELSEA, having come through the academy and fought back into the first team after adversity.
Remaining with a club likely to compete in the Champions League gives him exposure at the highest level — something a mid-table move might not guarantee.
