The defender has agreed a five-year contract with Cesc Fabregas’ team after Como secured Champions League football by finishing fourth in Italy’s top flight last season.
Chelsea are set to receive £25.7m up front, while another £5.1m could follow in performance-related add-ons.
Chalobah’s departure brings an end to almost two decades with his boyhood club. He joined Chelsea’s academy as a youngster and went on to make 151 senior appearances, winning five major trophies during his time at Stamford Bridge. Those honours included the FA Cup in 2018 and the Conference League in 2025.
The 27-year-old, who has earned two England caps, was also included as a late addition to England’s World Cup squad. He previously spent time away from Chelsea on loan at Ipswich Town, Huddersfield Town, Lorient and Crystal Palace.
Fabregas, who briefly shared the Chelsea dressing room with Chalobah, believes the defender will add leadership to his new side.
“Trevoh is an important signing for us and a player who represents the level of ambition we have at this club,” said Fabregas.
“He is a leader who can raise the level of the team, and I am very happy that he has chosen Como.”
Chalobah added: “I’m thrilled and honoured to be here at Como. It’s an ambitious, rising project, and working with manager Cesc Fabregas again is truly special.”
