Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Trevoh Chalobah, who has been deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea. The club recently signed French centre-back Leny Yoro, surprising many as Real Madrid had also shown interest in the player.
It was expected that United would focus on strengthening other positions after acquiring Yoro, but manager Erik ten Hag may still be looking to bring in another central defender during the current transfer window.
According to Give Me Sport, Manchester United have a ‘genuine interest’ in the 25-year-old Chalobah. The publication suggests that United are seriously considering the option of signing a second centre-half in the same window. Chalobah’s versatility, particularly his ability to play as a right-back, makes him an attractive option for United, especially with uncertainties surrounding the future of Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Chelsea reportedly want £25 million for Chalobah’s permanent transfer, though this price might be negotiable given the club’s clear intention to sell.
Chalobah was not included in Chelsea’s pre-season tour, indicating their determination to offload him this summer. Manchester United might use Chelsea’s eagerness to sell to their advantage in negotiations.
Acquiring Chalobah would further bolster United’s defense, which requires reinforcement this summer. At 25, Chalobah is a young and motivated player with something to prove. He is considered an underrated defender who could provide valuable depth, stepping in and out of the starting lineup as needed.
