That falls short of Chelsea’s valuation for Chalobah, who made his World Cup debut last week. Chalobah came on as a late sub under Thomas Tuchel in England‘s crazy 6-4 third- placeplay-offf win over France. He was a late call-up to the squad as a replacement for former Cobham team-mate Tino Livramento. Chalobah has two years left on a long-term contract signed in 2022. Chelsea hold an option to extend that for another 12 months but are also happy to cash in on him now. They have agreed a deal to sign Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix.

Chalobah played with Lacroix briefly at Selhurst Park on loan in the 2024/25 season before being dramatically recalled by Chelsea. He has gone on to make 151 appearances for the club in total with 117 in the Prem across both teams. Lacroix is expected to cost around £52million and will have his medical on Friday. Chelsea travel to Australia for pre-season on the same day – but Chalobah will not be included in the squad named by new boss Xabi Alonso. He has three weeks of holiday before returning. By the time that is over, he may well be playing for a new side. Comment now
