Chelsea has barred Romelu Lukaku, Trevoh Chalobah, and Armando Broja from using the first-team training facilities at Cobham, as the club prepares for their departure. Lukaku, who last played for Chelsea in 2021, is a target for Napoli, with coach Antonio Conte expressing interest in the Belgian forward. Lukaku has previously been on loan at Inter Milan and AS Roma.
Chalobah and Broja had limited roles last season, with Broja spending part of the season on loan at Fulham. Both players are also expected to leave the club. Football journalist reported, “Trevoh Chalobah and Armando Broja have been barred by Chelsea from using the first-team facilities, alongside Lukaku. They will train with the U21s until they secure moves to new clubs.” Lukaku is anticipated to join Napoli on a three-year deal soon, while talks continue for Chalobah and Broja. Chelsea is seeking approximately £30 million for Chalobah, who was excluded from the pre-season tour.
Chelsea will begin their 2024/25 season against Manchester City next Sunday.
