Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan have taken a significant step in their efforts to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
According to reports from the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing insider Nicolo Schira, the Milan-based club has reached an agreement on personal terms with Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah.
Sources indicate that Inter Milan has secured a long-term agreement with the 26-year-old defender, spanning until 2031. However, the official completion of the transfer remains subject to ongoing negotiations between the two clubs regarding the final fee structure.
It is reported that Chelsea FC is seeking a transfer fee of 35 million euros in fixed payments, plus an additional 5 million euros in performance-related bonuses. Inter Milan's current counter-offer stands at 30 million euros, with 5 million euros in potential add-ons.
Discussions are currently focused on the structure of these bonuses and a potential sell-on clause, which would grant Chelsea a percentage of any future transfer fee should Inter Milan decide to sell the player later.
Trevoh Chalobah has been a notable figure in Chelsea's defensive rotation. During the 2025/26 season, the defender made 47 appearances across all competitions, contributing 3 goals. Inter Milan, a historic club in Italian football, is looking to bolster its defensive line to maintain its competitive edge in both Serie A and European competitions.
