Sponsored by. CHELSEA want a stunning £40million for centre-half Trevoh Chalobah after his recall from Crystal Palace. The Stamford Bridge money men expect the huge fee for the defender. He is now available to play for Blues boss Enzo Maresca following the termination of his loan in South London.
Chalobah, who made 14 appearances for Palace, could yet play regularly for Chelsea this season. But if anyone hits the cash target then he is likely to go. Palace are unwilling to meet the figure and pay the 25-year-old’s wages, which are close to £7m a year.
Chalobah came through the club's Cobham academy before establishing himself as a firm favourite of Thomas Tuchel. He continued to be an important squad piece under Graham Potter and interim Frank Lampard. However, he played just 17 times under Mauricio Pochettino before he was sent out on loan last summer after he was told he had no future with the Blues.
But following injuries to Wesley Fofana and Beniot Badiashile, Chalobah was recalled to his parent club. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS. Speaking about his loan termination, Palace boss Oliver Glasner said: "I’m not sure disappointing is the right word. Trevoh had a great time with us.
“When you make a loan deal it is usually win-win for everyone, but now Chelsea are the biggest winners because they get a player back who scored three goals and is in much better shape than when he arrived. “I want to say thanks to Trevoh for his professionalism and for what he invested.
