Como are not the only Italian side in the hunt, as Serie A champions Inter are also considering a move for the centre-back. The Nerazzurri are in the market for proven European pedigree, and Chalobah's experience in the Premier League and his versatility make him an attractive option for Cristian Chivu's side. If a bidding war commences, Chelsea could see a significant return for their academy product.
The move would represent a step up in terms of immediate prestige, as Inter will be defending their Scudetto title while competing at the highest level of European football. For Chalobah, the prospect of appearing in the Champions League is a major draw, especially given that Chelsea will have no European football at all next season following a dismal 10th-place finish.
