Bayern Munich expressed interest in the 24-year-old during the summer. When that deal fell through, Forest stepped forward with a £25 million offer, which Chelsea accepted before the deadline.
However, Chalobah wasn’t interested in moving to Forest. He made the decision to remain and contend for a spot at Stamford Bridge, despite the fact that he has yet to appear in any of Mauricio Pochettino’s teams during the 2023–24 season.
Forest target Chalobah now set to leave Chelsea in January
The well-known journalist Fabrizio Romano is the source of this information. Although he now says that talks with Bayern might resume, he also says that the race to sign him is open.
Chalobah has significantly slipped in Chelsea’s hierarchy. He progressed through the ranks at Stamford Bridge and has played 63 times for the Blues while a member of Chelsea’s senior squad.
Now, the player will be keeping track of the remaining days till January. It will be interesting to see where he goes when the window reopens because he will be itching to get outside and play some football.
Forest has since replaced the center-back.
When needed, Chelsea’s Chalobah has proven to be a highly valuable player for the team. He is a target for Forest. Rio Ferdinand praised the guy who generally plays center back and dubbed him “unbelievable” back in 2019.
However, it appears that Forest left Chalobah behind. Prior to the deadline, the club moved to sign Murillo and Andrew Omobamidele, and the former has performed exceptionally well for the team.
It’s difficult to imagine Forest adding another center back as early as January. Because other teams are now fighting for Steve Cooper’s services, this may be one contract that he is ready to park.
