Trevoh Chalobah is reportedly being watched by a Champions League team in anticipation of his “confirmed” departure from Chelsea and his transfer to Nottingham Forest.
At the conclusion of the summer transfer window in 2023, Forest expressed interest in the 24-year-old. The Reds are rumored to have offered Chelsea £25 million, but Chalobah preferred a loan to Bayern Munich at the time, therefore the deal never happened. That was also not the case.
He stayed put, and the defender has yet to feature for Chelsea this season under Mauricio Pochettino. He has been sidelined with a thigh injury, but it is unclear if he has played his last game for the Stamford Bridge club.
According to German newspaper BILD, Borussia Dortmund have “set their sights” on the defender ahead of the January transfer window. With Chalobah previously keen on a move to a giant German club, he could again prefer this option to Forest come winter.
It has also been noted by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano that a Chelsea exit for Chalobah in January is all but a done deal. He told Caught Offside : “I can say that Chelsea are also looking into a new centre-back signing for 2024.
“It’s because the decision of the club – which is now 100 percent confirmed – is to sell Trevoh Chalobah in the January transfer window.
“He would love to stay at Chelsea, he wants to play more, but there is no space for him and he doesn’t want to be stuck on the bench. Now he’s injured of course, but Chalobah’s future is elsewhere.”
