Fabrizio Romano claims Chelsea player is set to leave in January despite recent Mauricio Pochettino comments
Fabrizio Romano has said that the expectation is still that Trevoh Chalobah leaves Chelsea at the next closest opportunity.
He took to Twitter to claim that this is still the case despite recent comments from Mauricio Pochettino that he is still in his plans.
There were plenty of claims over the summer that Chalobah would not still be in West London by the time the transfer window slammed shut earlier this month.
He was the subject of interest from Bayern Munich, where a potential reunion with former boss Thomas Tuchel was on the cards.
However, a breakdown between the two sides occurred late in negotiations, mostly due to Chelsea not budging on wanting a permanent deal for £50m.
Despite this brand of interest coming from Nottingham Forest, Chalobah said no and remained at Stamford Bridge for now.
Chalobah still set to leave
When asked in a press conference recently about the subject, Mauricio Pochettino claimed that the defender would absolutely still be in his plans when he returned to full fitness.
However, Romano has stated that this has not altered the club’s stance on selling him though.
He said: “Trevoh Chalobah, still expected to leave Chelsea in January — Pochettino denied English CB being ‘frozen out’ after move rejected on Deadline Day but feeling is clear.
Chalobah was keen on Bayern move in the final weeks of summer window — he rejected Nottingham Forest.
The Blues man may not be the most popular figure in West London at the moment after recent conversations between his trainer and another individual were leaked.
Whilst offering an update on the centre-back’s fitness, he went on to scald the club in the midst of their recent injury crisis. It is not expected that this will go down well.
