Chelsea are prepared to sanction a loan move for their rising talent Trevoh Chalobah with a host of Premier League and Serie A sides interested in the youngster.
Chalobah enjoyed a breakthrough season last year, scoring on his debut as he made 20 league appearances for Thomas Tuchel's side, but is now on the periphery of the Chelsea squad.
The centre-back faces stiff competition from new summer signings Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella and has been an unused substitute for Chelsea's opening Premier League games.
The London club are now open to granting Chalobah a loan move away from Stamford Bridge, but are not willing to include any permanent option in a deal, as reported by The Athletic.
The surprise decision will have caught a host of clubs by surprise, with upcoming defenders boasting experience in France and England a rarity in the modern game, but there will plenty of potential suitors vying for his signature.
At just 23, Chalobah has played for Huddersfield, Ipswich, FC Lorient, and Chelsea, and has made numerous appearances in the Champions League and English football's top flight.
He scored three Premier League goals last season and registered nine clean sheets while playing in defence as Chelsea qualified for the Champions League and reached two domestic cup finals.
Identifying as a ball-playing central defender, he is loved by club supporters who were left largely impressed by his exploits last season as he became a regular in the Chelsea matchday setup.
A move to Italy would see him follow in the footsteps of former Chelsea academy product Fikayo Tomori who joined AC Milan on loan before making the move permanent after helping the side lift the Serie A title last season.
He would also likely come up against another ex-Chelsea player in Tammy Abraham who currently plays for Jose Mourinho's Roma.
Chalobah rose through the ranks of Chelsea's Cobham academy and looked set to become a regular under Tuchel this season, with the Premier League outfit boasting just three experienced central defenders.
However rumoured interest in Leicester defender Wesley Fofana could be one possible reason for Chalobah being loaned out again as Tuchel and Co prepare for more incomings before the end of the transfer window.

What a stupid decision Chelsea is abt to make. pls this boy shld be retained in view of many trophies to be competed for and also the 2022 world cup where many matches are to be played. this is a promising boy that has gained more experience and I support his being retained.

Sending him on loan is a stupid idea. Chalobah is fit and very able to play at the top tier of English football.

How many defenders do you have available before wanting Chalobah out? I want to agree the board and the Coach knows better but am afraid, no squad depth for proper rotation or cover for injuries.

You all shouting and capping online 😂 so you all don’t see this guy errors last season how e made some costly mistakes. A loan isn’t bad for him anyway even without fofana he will still be on bench a lot this season. Going on loan will help him better and getting more game time and experience. 😂 you all pretend like you don’t know chelsea like elites players we don’t like waiting got players to grow while in our team. We prefer to waste more money on readily made players 😂 that’s the Chelsea style and it worked so far anyway.
what mistakes and show me who is without a mistake

A player who played tremendously last season, who should be playing to keep developing but rather than do that they prefer bringing in another defender fir 80mils and waste this prospect
Because he has seriously declined. The first team isn't for practice

letting chaloboah leave and sign fofana for 80m... stupid decision in the highest level..Chelsea never learn...same mistake they do for letting tomori and zouma leave
First and foremost, Zuma was an error Lampard sold Chalobah so how does that concern Thomas?

this might be another mistake by Chealsea, look at T. Abraham and other players they have sold out. Not good.

Trevor is has a lot of potential but breaking into the first team and all the accolades have gotten into his head. This is causing him to be making lots of unnecessary mistakes that unlike him.

Chelsea board to be wise on how this Thomas Tuchel is dealing with our academy players cuz I'm not longer understanding him sending Chalobah on loan and buying fofana for £85M
No body is pushing chalobah out of the club, most of our players are not patient enough, just because season just started and team is only playing once a week many of them are already given up, instead of them to continue training well and prepare for there chance, they are planning to go out to were they can always play every match, club cannot ask a player to stay when he is not happy....by the time champions league and league cups starts all other players will have their chance to play, look at club like Barca even with their problems many of their players don't want to leave, they had to be forcing many players out of the club. I think most of our players are the problem not the coach or management

He was doing excellent. I don’t understand what went wrong. I would rate him higher than Azpi albeit less experienced. And loan him only if a competent replacement is arriving

The guy said he wants to leave for playing time the owner said ok but it will be on loan not permanently or obligation to buy just loan and come back next season

In sane or drunk ness for Chelsea board? I guess they must be demented. Of what quality did you see in Fofana that he betters Trevor that you chase after him with 80million and prepared to let Trevor leave on loan? Please let him be and provide more game time for him and see the beast in him.
None of them he said he need playing time that he wants to leave but the owner said he will only leave on loan not permanently
