Despite the cleared path, Inter have put their pursuit of Chalobah on standby. The Italian champions are currently completely focused on securing a deal for Anan Khalaili. Inter will only return their attention to the defensive department once they have successfully resolved the situation on their right flank.
However, the negotiations for Chalobah are not dead. Inter are constantly working with the entourage of Chalobah to find an agreement on personal terms before sending a first official bid to Chelsea. Meanwhile, Chelsea are looking to revamp their own defence. The London club want to hand a prominent role to Maxence Lacroix, although a distance remains in their negotiations with Crystal Palace.
