Como is poised to begin the medical assessments for Trevoh Chalobah, a defender from Chelsea, on Wednesday. The transfer is reportedly valued at €30 million, with an additional €3 million in potential add-ons. Simultaneously, Yan Couto is expected to join from Borussia Dortmund.

Having secured Champions League qualification just two years after their promotion from Serie B, Como is actively bolstering their roster under the guidance of coach Cesc Fabregas.

Chalobah and Couto Ready for Como

Following extensive negotiations, which included a period where Como temporarily stepped aside to allow Inter to pursue Chalobah as part of a transfer market non-aggression pact, an agreement has been reached with Chelsea. Sky Sport Italia reports the final transfer fee to be €30 million, with €3 million in add-ons. The England international is anticipated to arrive on Wednesday to commence his medical examinations. A sell-on clause for future transfers is also expected to be included.

In parallel, Como is nearing another significant acquisition. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano indicates that the club is in the final stages of securing Couto. The former Manchester City right-back is set to join on a €2 million loan deal from Borussia Dortmund, with an option to purchase him permanently for an additional €20 million at the end of the season. The 24-year-old Brazilian made his move to Borussia Dortmund in 2024 for a total fee of €25 million.
