AS Roma will borrow Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea

DBasia.news – Trevoh Chalobah’s opportunity to move from Chelsea is still open in January 2023. AS Roma reportedly want to borrow the 23-year-old player.

Rumors of Chalobah’s departure from Chelsea have actually been circulating since the summer of 2022. Several teams have expressed their interest and Chelsea are willing to listen to offers.

Until the transfer market closes, there is no offer that tempts the Blues. Chelsea, which was still being managed by Thomas Tuchel, chose to keep Chalobah on the grounds of maintaining the depth of the squad at centre-back.

However, Chalobah’s fate did not change. He remains a back-up player, even though Chelsea have played with three defenders. There is no place for him.

Reports from Corriere dello Sport say, Roma are now turning on the radar. The Giallorosi are monitoring Chalobah’s situation closely.

The most likely option for Roma is to be loaned. The same thing Roma did with some new players last summer: if it’s not free, it’s on loan.

The plan is that Roma will start moving in January 2023. Chalobah is currently on the first list for Roma to buy.

Roma have been quite active in the last transfer market. Seven new players were successfully brought in at affordable prices.

However, Roma kept one flaw in their transfer activity. Yes, Roma didn’t manage to obtain any centers.

In order to maintain the depth of the squad in that position, Chalobah is considered the most realistic option.

The same report states that Chelsea are pleased if Chalobah is on loan. If he wishes to be made permanent, Chelsea would refuse.

At a young age and considered to be a potential, Chelsea finally softened to let him go to obtain more playing minutes.

However, Chelsea must understand that the departure of Chalobah can inflict injury on the squad as if he had to leave, Chelsea only had three players in natural positions as central defenders.
