Enzo Maresca has confirmed he doesn’t want Trevoh Chalobah to leave this summer, but admitted anything can happen in the transfer market.
The Blues are once again set for a busy summer and have already completed the signing of Liam Delap, whilst a deal for Jamie Gittens is said to be close.
Chelsea are also in the market for a versatile forward and centre back, whilst they are looking to move on as many as ten players.
Enzo Maresca speaks on Trevoh Chalobah future
Chelsea have a number of options at centre back, but there’s expected to be movement with the likes of Renato Veiga and Axel Disasi set to leave.
There are question marks surrounding the future of Benoit Badiashile, whilst Chalobah is thought to be attracting interest from Napoli.

Chelsea sent Chalobah on loan to Crystal Palace last season, but he was recalled in January after injuries to Wesley Fofana and Badiashile.
The England international impressed over the second half of the season and helped Chelsea qualify for the Champions League and win the Conference League.
However, Chalobah still faces an uncertain future, although Chelsea aren’t actively looking to sell him, and Maresca has now spoken on his future.
