The Story in Brief
Como has signed England defender Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea on a five-year contract worth an initial Rs 290 crore (30 million euros) plus add-ons, the Serie A club said on Sunday. The 27-year-old made 47 appearances for Chelsea last season and was part of Thomas Tuchel's England squad at this year's World Cup, where England beat France 6-4 in the third-place playoff.
Chalobah joins a Como side that, under coach Cesc Fabregas, secured Champions League qualification for the first time in its history last season after being promoted to Serie A two years ago. His departure from Chelsea follows the London club's signing of defender Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace.
The Indian Opinion
The club-as-retirement-home narrative around Como and Cesc Fabregas misses the point. Chalobah is 27, not 37, and many England internationals now see Serie A as an active career move, not a farewell tour. The real test will be whether Como's Champions League debut validates its spending or follows the pattern of newcomers who buy big but struggle for cohesion.
