Chelsea look happy to offload one of their defenders at the end of the season.

Trevoh Chalobah is free to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer, according to 90min.

However, their report also claims that the centre-back will wait for the right move and wants to join a club with European football.

Chalobah has just made his return from injury and was named in Chelsea‘s matchday squad for the first time this season on Monday.

And with Benoit Badiashile sidelined, he should be making the Blues’ bench for their next few games.

Trevoh Chalobah free to leave Chelsea

Chelsea have options in central defence, so it makes sense for them to let Chalobah go and make a bit of money from him.

Badiashile, Thiago Silva, Axel Disasi, Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana can all play at centre-back. Silva could leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires, but that would still leave Mauricio Pochettino with five centre-halves, including Chalobah. It is why the Argentine can afford to let the 24-year-old go.

How much could he cost? Football.london journalist Bobby Vincent claimed on The Si Phillips Talks Chelsea Podcast last month that Chelsea value Chalobah at around £35m.

It would be a surprise if the Blues got that amount of money for their academy product. He has been injured all season and now looks to be a fringe player at Stamford Bridge.

Clubs will feel that they can get him for cheaper or that he should be cheaper.

As for what the players wants, it is definitely not impossible that he gets a move to a Champions League or Europa League team. Inter Milan and AC Milan are both being linked with him.

To keep their interest alive, though, Chalobah needs to stay fit and take any opportunities that come his way between now and the end of the campaign.
