Trevoh Chalobah is on the verge of leaving Chelsea to join Cesc Fabregas\u2019 Como, with the two sides eventually agreeing on a fee for the England defender.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> have made nine signings this summer, four since Xabi Alonso\u2019s<\/a> arrival and five that were agreed before the Blues. More signings are expected, with Pep Chavarria and Jordan Henderson set to arrive.<\/p>\n

BREAKING: Chelsea are closing in on Costa and Chavarria! \ud83d\udc4a<\/h3>\n

Chavarria is in England and talks are advanced for Costa.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Valentin Barco is believed to have cost \u00a334m<\/a>, taking spending north of \u00a3300m and Chelsea need to sell players to balance the books and fund future moves in the market, possibly goalkeeper Diogo Costa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After selling Marc Cucurella, Andrey Santos, Tyrique George and Jimmy-Jay Morgan for more than \u00a3120m, and a \u00a343m obligation for Alejandro Garnacho, Chelsea are now set to sanction Trevoh Chalobah\u2019s<\/a> exit.<\/p>\n

Chelsea fans discuss Trevoh Chalobah\u2019s Como transfer fee<\/h2>\n

According to Nizaar Kinsella<\/a>, among others, Como are paying an initial \u00a325.7m to sign the England World Cup star. A further \u00a35.1m more in add-ons will be paid to Chelsea, should Chalobah meet them at Como.<\/p>\n

It sees Chalobah end his near 20-year stint at Chelsea. With Levi Colwill fit and Maxence Lacroix signed, Chalobah has fallen down the pecking order, and the defender has chosen to leave the club for Como.<\/p>\n

The news emerged on Monday afternoon, and since then, Chelsea supporters have reacted on social media. Many believe Chelsea have got a good deal in eventually receiving more than \u00a330m for him.<\/p>\n

Chalobah fans in absolute tears, but the books are looking pristine. <\/p>\n

Modern football > nostalgia!<\/p>\n

One Chelsea fan posted that the Blues \u201cgot good money for him\u201d, while another believes Chelsea have got a \u201cgood deal\u201d for the defender. One even thinks Chelsea have \u201cscammed Como\u201d with the figure.<\/p>\n

A \u00a330m+ package for an academy defender is a strong piece of business. Wishing Chalobah the best for the next chapter. \ud83d\udc4f\u201c20 years at Chelsea ending like this is emotional. Not every academy story ends with a fairytale, but Trevoh gave his all whenever he wore the shirt.<\/p>\n

The reaction continued to come in. One said it\u2019s a \u201cgood move for all\u201d, while \u201cincredible business but damn this hurts\u201d, was a post from another Blues supporter. Many are happy with the transfer fee.<\/p>\n

Chalobah is likely to be the first of several centre-back exits<\/h2>\n

The signing of Lacroix has taken Chelsea\u2019s centre-back options to 10. But Xabi Alonso has said he only wants four or five to choose from when the Premier League season starts away at Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

Colwill and Lacroix will be first choice, while reports suggest Tosin Adarabioyo is set to remain<\/a> to give Chelsea leadership. Josh Acheampong is considered one of seven untouchables<\/a> at Chelsea this summer.<\/p>\n

Xabi Alonso only wants \u2018four or five\u2019 centre-backs next season\u2026<\/p>\n

But the rest see their futures under the microscope. Benoit Badiashile is set for Napoli<\/a>, while Mamadou Sarr, Wesley Fofana, Aaron Anselmino, Axel Disasi and obviously, Chalobah, could all leave Chelsea.<\/p>\n

If Chelsea are to accomplish Alonso\u2019s claims, then plenty will have to go. Chalobah is just the tip of the iceberg, with four or five more exits expected among Chelsea\u2019s plethora of centre-back departures.<\/p>\n
