Chelsea ‘brutally tell Trevoh Chalobah NOT to come on pre-season tour and prepare to sell him in summer transfer’
CHELSEA have reportedly Trevoh Chalobah to stay at home and not travel for pre-season.
The Blues are travelling to the USA for their pre-season tour and will face the likes of Wrexham and Celtic.
However, Chalobah, 25, will not be travelling with the squad this summer.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that the defender has been told to stay at home.
It is suggested that the club feels “heavy” with centre-backs as Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi and Tosin Adarabioyo are all going.
He added that Josh Acheampong would also be joining the trip as the club want to take a “good look” at him.
Chalobah has been linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge regularly over the last year.
In 2023, Bayern Munich were reportedly keen on him but a deal failed to materialise.
West Ham and Fulham have also been regularly touted with an interest in the Englishman.
Crystal Palace have reportedly had an approach for Chalobah turned down by the Blues.

It had been claimed that Chelsea value him at close to £30million with his contract set to expire in 2028.
Chelsea have also not taken promising defender Alfie Gilchrist to the USA.
The defender has had two loan proposals sent to him from Preston and Sheffield United.
It is expected that he will leave the club on a temporary move in order to gain more experience.
Chalobah featured 13 times in the Premier League last season and scored one goal.
He came through the academy at Cobham and has been at the club since 2018.
He has had three loan spells away from Chelsea at Ipswich Town, Huddersfield Town, and Lorient.
