Como Close In on Chelsea Defender as Inter Back Away

Inter won't make another offer for Trevoh Chalobah for the time being, so Como have an opening to snare him, provided they meet Chelsea's request. The Lariani have already made two bids for the defender, €25M plus €2M add-ons, then €28M with the same amount of bonuses, but they were rebuffed, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The Nerazzurri talked primarily with his entourage but never tendered a formal proposal. The Blues ask for a €35M package. The Serie A side is working to reduce the demand a little, but the parties aren't too distant.
