In January, Jose Mourinho is reportedly eyeing a move to bring two Chelsea players, Trevoh Chalobah and Malang Sarr, to Roma, as revealed by Italian news site Calciomercato via SportsMole. Both players have yet to feature under Mauricio Pochettino during the current season.
Chalobah has been sidelined for a few months due to a thigh injury, sparking rumors of a potential departure from the club during the summer transfer window. With limited playing time recently, it appears his exit from Chelsea may be imminent.
Sarr, although not dealing with an injury himself, has not made an appearance for Chelsea in any competition this season. With the return of Levi Colwill from his loan at Brighton & Hove Albion and the addition of Axel Disasi from Monaco, Chalobah and Sarr seem to have diminished importance at Chelsea. The club could be open to selling them in the upcoming January transfer window.
The defensive duo is perceived as surplus to requirements at Chelsea, especially with the team managing only four clean sheets in their first 12 Serie A matches this season. Mourinho, keen on shoring up Roma’s defense, is prioritizing the addition of defensive players in the winter transfer market.
As Chalobah’s potential departure looms, fueled by injury woes and previous transfer speculations, and Sarr’s absence from the Chelsea lineup raises questions about his future, the January transfer window could see these two players making a move to Serie A under the management of Mourinho at Roma.
