Man United enter race to sign £25m Chelsea star this summer – Report

According to reports, Manchester United has joined the competition to sign Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah during the summer transfer season.

The Englishman is no longer in demand, despite interest from multiple Premier League teams.

After graduating from the academy, the 25-year-old has played 80 senior games for the team. However, Chalobah’s injury limited his Blues appearances to just 17 in all competitions last season, with one goal.

He was not included in Chelsea’s roster for their current preseason tour of the United States.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke stated on the Football Insider’s Inside Track show that Chalobah will be leaving the team this summer in response to his absence.

Moreover, the Red Devils are keen on acquiring his services. With senior defender Raphael Varane no longer part of the club and Harry Maguire’s best days arguably behind him, United are on the lookout for defensive reinforcements.

The club recently announced the signing of Leny Yoro from Lille on a five-year contract.

They are also linked with Bayern Munich and Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt.Chalobah’s defensive abilities coupled with his penchant for getting deeper into attack might come in handy for any team interested in bagging his services.

According to the report, the Chelsea defender has previously rejected bids from Crystal Palace and Fulham. However, he might finally be leaving Stamford Bridge sooner rather than later.
