Trevoh Chalobah, the talented young footballer, has made his return to Chelsea. However, his stay at the club may not be for long. The Blues have raised their valuation of Chalobah, and are reportedly willing to sell him despite his recent return from a successful loan spell at Crystal Palace.
Just days ago, Chalobah was recalled to Stamford Bridge, cutting short his impressive loan spell at Selhurst Park. This decision was made due to injuries to key players Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile, and head coach Enzo Maresca expressed his delight at having the center-back back in the squad. He also clarified that Chalobah's earlier exile from the first-team was due to financial issues, and not a lack of talent.
Fans of Chelsea are hoping that this recall marks the beginning of a long career for Chalobah at the club. However, reports suggest otherwise. It is believed that the 25-year-old is seen as a short-term solution, and that the club plans to sell him in the summer. In fact, sources say that Chelsea have slapped a hefty price tag of £40 million on Chalobah, almost double of what they were asking for last year.
It is unclear if the Blues are actively seeking to sell Chalobah, but if an offer in the ballpark of £40 million is made, he is likely to leave. This comes as a surprise considering his impressive loan spell at Crystal Palace, where he was a key player and helped the team secure important wins.
Speaking of his time at Palace, Chalobah's impact was undeniable. His performances caught the attention of the club, and they were keen on signing him permanently. However, with the new asking price, which would break their transfer record, and Chalobah's high salary demands, Palace are hesitant to make the purchase.
Despite Chalobah's unexpected departure, Palace have not struggled. In fact, they have secured two consecutive away wins against strong teams like Leicester and West Ham. Manager Oliver Glasner, while discussing the situation, expressed his gratitude towards Chalobah for his professionalism and performance at the club. He also wished him the best for his future at Chelsea.
Chalobah could make his first appearance for Chelsea this season on Monday night, as they take on Wolves. It remains to be seen how his return to the club will play out, but one thing is for sure - his time at Crystal Palace was a memorable one, and he will be missed by the team and its fans.
