Fabrizio Romano rules out Manchester United move for Chelsea star

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has ruled out Trevoh Chalobah joining Manchester United from Chelsea.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano on CaughtOffside, Trevoh Chalobah is not a target for Manchester United. The London club is anticipated to separate ways with the 24-year-old Chelsea defender during the winter transfer window, but the Red Devils are not interested in him.

Since his youth, Chalobah has been a member of the Chelsea squad. He advanced through the club’s levels and was promoted to the first team in the summer of 2021. During their early years, the 24-year-old played a crucial role as a member of their inaugural squad. Nonetheless, much has changed in the past year.

The former England Under-21 international has fallen in the hierarchy at the cub. It was anticipated that he would depart from the club in the summer, and numerous organizations expressed interest in his services. Both Nottingham Forest and Bayern Munich were interested in signing him, but they were unable to reach an agreement regarding his services.

Although he may not have departed during the summer, it is anticipated that the 24-year-old will depart the club in the winter. Romano is one hundred percent certain that the graduate of Chelsea will depart Stamford Bridge in January. However, the rumors that have him linked to a transfer to Manchester United fail to persuade him.

The Red Devils’ start to the new season has been dreadful. A significant contributor to their sluggish start to the new season has been the multitude of injuries sustained by their defenders. The defensive department’s dearth of depth has emerged as a significant concern, prompting the organization to consider purchasing a new defender in 2024.

As per Romano, the possibility of Chalobah joining Manchester United is not entirely concrete. No negotiations are taking place at this time. He considers journalistic speculation to be unfounded in relation to the 24-year-old United player, given that the Chelsea graduate desires to depart and United are seeking a new defender.

According to the transfer expert, United have a list of prospective targets, but that does not include the former England Under-21 international. It is anticipated that Goncalo Inacio, Antonio Silva, Edmond Tapsoba, and Jean-Clair Todibo will be targets for the Red Devils.

“However, one player who is anticipated to depart Chelsea is Trevoh Chalobah, who this summer was a target for both Nottingham Forest and Bayern Munich,” Romano stated. His continued absence from the first team means that, as previously stated, I fully anticipate his departure from Stamford Bridge in January.

“However, the recent rumors linking Chalobah with Manchester United continue to persuade me otherwise; they appear to be mere conjecture, given that Chalobah is leaving Chelsea and United are in search of a central defender. Although the connections appear to be routine, I am genuinely unaware of any concrete developments there at this time; negotiations are ongoing.

“According to recent conversations with sources, United continue to prioritize a cornerback acquisition in 2024. Prospects including Goncalo Inacio, Antonio Silva, Edmond Tapsoba, and Jean-Clair Todibo were among those on their wish list.” “Chalobah has not been mentioned; I will provide an update should anything change, but there is currently no new information at this time.”
