Como seem determined to lock down Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah in the next 24 hours, again improving the formula of their offer to close on the €35m asking price.
There had already been reports this morning that a new proposal had been made, a significant step after Inter backed away from their pursuit.
The two Serie A clubs had made a confirmed pact not to one-up each other in a bidding war, but when Inter withdrew their interest, it allowed Como back in.
Como determined to get Chalobah
Sportitalia and Sky Sport Italia claim that the latest bid was worth €25m plus €5-6m in add-ons.
That was immediately rejected, as Chelsea are asking for €30m in the fixed fee, plus €5m in bonuses.
Both sources are confident more conference calls are planned both this evening and tomorrow to finalise the details, as Como seem intent on getting a deal over the line quickly.
The plan is to increase the fixed fee and improve the bonuses, which had been tied to the number of games played.
The 27-year-old central defender can also play at right-back, and his contract with Chelsea runs to June 2028, but with an option to extend for another year.
Chalobah had been part of the England squad that secured third place at the 2026 World Cup.
