It seems that Trevoh Chalobah's time at Chelsea may be coming to an end. After being a part of the club since he was just eight years old, the 25-year-old defender has been told to stay at home and miss the team's pre-season tour of America. This decision has sparked rumors that he will be leaving the club this summer.
Despite his long history with Chelsea, Chalobah has also had three loan spells with other teams, including Ipswich, Huddersfield Town, and Lorient. And while he may have hoped to continue playing for the Blues, it appears that he has been axed from the squad for the upcoming tour. Fabrizio Romano has reported that Chalobah was instructed not to travel with the rest of the team, as Chelsea already has several strong defenders, such as Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi, and Tosin Adarabioyo.
The team, led by Enzo Maresca, has a busy schedule ahead of them in the States. They are set to play against Wrexham, Celtic, Club America, Manchester City, and Real Madrid from July 25 to August 7. Unfortunately, Chalobah will not be a part of any of these games. With 80 appearances for his beloved club, it's possible that he has already played his last game for Chelsea.
Last summer, Chalobah was already rumored to be leaving the team, with Tottenham and Bayern Munich showing interest in signing him. However, he ended up staying at Stamford Bridge and even made 17 appearances under Mauricio Pochettino. Despite having four years left on his contract, it seems that Chelsea is now looking to cash in on him this summer. And with limited chances for regular game time, it's likely that Chalobah will be on the move.
According to reports, Chelsea is asking for a hefty fee of £25 million for the centre-back, the same amount they were asking for last year. It remains to be seen if any teams will meet this asking price. For now, Chalobah will have to bid farewell to his teammates as they embark on their tour without him. But the future is still uncertain for the young defender, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
