Atletico Madrid is reportedly eyeing Trevoh Chalobah, the 24-year-old Chelsea defender, as a potential transfer target in the January window.
Despite his perceived high cost, Chalobah, who has faced speculation about his future at Stamford Bridge due to limited playing time, is not currently on the verge of sealing a move to Atletico.
Amidst ongoing discussions about Chalobah, Atletico Madrid, according to updates from Fabrizio Romano, is actively pursuing a deal for Gabriel Paulista, who seems to be departing Valencia.
This shift in focus follows earlier considerations of Chalobah as an alternative option for the club.
While Chelsea fans may be eager to see Chalobah find a new team, no deal seems imminent at present.
Chalobah, though not a regular starter for the Blues, is viewed as a player with potential, making him an attractive prospect for Atletico Madrid and other elite European clubs.
The situation could potentially benefit Chelsea, as finding a buyer for Chalobah would not only pave the way for his departure but also contribute to balancing the financial books in accordance with Financial Fair Play regulations.
This, in turn, could provide Chelsea with greater flexibility to make significant transfers when the summer transfer market reopens.
