# Crystal Palace enquire about £35m Trevoh Chalobah deal

**Crystal Palace have reportedly asked Chelsea about the availability of Trevoh Chalobah during talks between the two clubs this summer.**

Chelsea reporter Simon Phillips claims Palace made an enquiry for their former loanee, although there is no suggestion that a formal offer has been submitted.

Chelsea are seeking a package worth around £35m for the centre-back. Serie A clubs Inter Milan and Como also remain interested, but the asking price has slowed progress towards a deal.

Chalobah spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Selhurst Park before Chelsea recalled him midway through the campaign. He made 14 appearances for Palace and scored three goals.

The 27-year-old has since rebuilt his position at Stamford Bridge, making 47 appearances across all competitions last season before earning a place in England’s World Cup squad.

## Palace consider familiar defensive option

Palace’s interest comes while Chelsea continue to pursue Maxence Lacroix.

The clubs have held discussions over the France international, with Chalobah’s name previously mentioned as a possible part of negotiations. A separate permanent move would give Pierre Sage a defender with Premier League experience and an existing understanding of the Palace squad.

[Read Crystal Palace recently reported](https://readcrystalpalace.com/2026/07/13/maxence-lacroix-chelsea-world-cup-semi/) that Chelsea had renewed contact over Lacroix, who remains one of Xabi Alonso’s leading defensive targets.

Chalobah can play centrally or on the right of a back three, making him a natural fit for several systems. His familiarity with Selhurst Park would also reduce the adjustment normally required from a new signing.

However, Chelsea’s £35m valuation represents a sizeable investment. Palace would also face competition from Italy if either Inter or Como returns with an improved proposal.

The enquiry remains at an early stage, but Chalobah could become a serious option if Lacroix leaves south London.
