How Much Will Chelsea Accept to Sell Chalobah to Crystal Palace?

The Telegraph’s Matt Law has reported that Crystal Palace are interested in signing the “versatile” centre-back to bolster their backline for the upcoming Premier League campaign. It’s stated that they are looking at potential replacements for defender Marc Guehi, who is reportedly attracting interest from Newcastle United.

Law claims that the Eagles are eyeing Chalobah and Wolfsburg defender Maxence Lacroix as potential options to replace Guehi if he is sold. The journalist adds that the English centre-back, who has been left in limbo after not being part of the Chelsea squad that had their pre-season training in the USA, is valued at around £25 million. Law also states that the expectation is for the 25-year-old to continue training with the U21 side as the club tries to find a resolution to his future and try to find a club ready to sign him.

Which Other Players Are Chelsea Looking to Sell?

The Telegraph reporter also states that Chelsea are aiming to sell forward Romelu Lukaku and have told Napoli that they’ll need to pay up his entire £37.6 million release clause for him to reunite with Antonio Conte. Meanwhile, it has already been reported that the Blues have agreed a deal with Atletico Madrid to sell Conor Gallagher after the Englishman refused multiple contract extension offers from the club.

Chelsea have already made eight signings this summer window, including the recent one of goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen as well as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Maresca’s former team, Leicester City. It now looks like they’re focused on offloading players to trim down their squad and are very open to selling Chalobah. The Englishman only made 17 appearances for the Blues last season, helping them keep three clean sheets and no longer seems to be in the long-term plans of the club.
