Man United have “genuine interest” in bringing £25m Chelsea talent to Old Trafford -Report

Chelsea star Trevoh Chalobah is an inexpensive option for Man United to consider if their main targets fail to materialize. The Red Devils are still in the transfer market looking for a center-back.

After completing a £59 million deal with Lille for the highly-rated 18-year-old, Erik ten Hag has already added Leny Yoro to his squad, and the Dutch coach has no intention of stopping there.

The Premier League’s biggest clubs now lack the financial resources to buy either of the players Man United has been connected to, namely Matthijs de Ligt of Bayern Munich and Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton, according to Ben Jacobs.

According to the transfer expert, Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, who is anticipated to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, might be an option to the pair.

The West London club are seeking offers in the region of £25m for the defender and it is believed that Man United have “genuine interest” in the 25-year-old.

If Aaron Wan-Bissaka goes to West Ham United, the centre-back’s ability to play at right-back makes a transfer even more attractive.

Newcastle and Fulham are monitoring Chalobah’s situation too with the defender’s future likely to be settled over the coming weeks having been left out of Chelsea’s pre-season tour squad.

A move for Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah would be smart from Man United
Signing Chalobah would be a smart move from Man United as not only is he versatile and Premier League-ready, the defender will not cost the Manchester club a lot of money.

This would free up funds to address other areas that need strengthening in Ten Hag’s squad such as centre midfield, with United believed to be pursuing a deal for PSG’s Manuel Ugarte.

Chalobah made 17 appearances last season for Chelsea and impressed Mauricio Pochettino after returning from a hamstring injury.
