Enzo Maresca explains why Trevoh Chalobah came off as defender reacts on his socials
The Blues breezed past AC Milan winning the game 4-1 on the night in what was another very impressive performance from Enzo Maresca's side. Liam Delap had a great game and he topped it off by scoring the fourth goal for Chelsea to make sure of the comfortable win and result.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea offered chance to sign Premier League centre back and it's not Marc Guehi!
It wasn't all good news though and Chelsea fans had major concerns when yet another defender appeared to come off injured during the game. Chalobah was bought off injured and suddenly Chelsea fans thought they might be losing him as well as Levi Colwill who is now likely to be out for a large part of the season with an ACL injury.
But thankfully, it does not sound like anything to be concerned about for Chalobah based on reactions from Maresca and the player himself.
Chalobah reacts
Trevoh Chalobah winces in pain as he puts weight on his injured ankle in a preseason friendly against AC Milan.
He simply posted on X last night:
'All good everyone, thanks for the messages 🙏💙'
That will be a relief to hear for everyone at the club because they are surely going to need Chalobah if they do not dip into the market to sign a new centre back in the remaining weeks of the summer transfer window.
Maresca reacts
So if he is all good, why did he come off? Well, he was 'too hot' apparently!
Maresca said:
'[Wesley] Fofana could be available for Crystal Palace yes, and we are very happy because he is a very important player. Trev [Chalobah] is fine; he decided to come off because it was too hot (laughs).'
It was a pretty hot day yesterday to be honest!

Inter Milan Negotiations For Atalanta Talisman At A ‘Complete Standstill' – Talks Could Drag Into Mid-August
Inter Milan's negotiations with Atalanta for Ademola Lookman are still at a 'complete standstill' and could drag into mid-August. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan's pursuit of Ademola Lookman has become the transfer soap opera of the summer. The Nigerian international has done everything he can to push for the move. He has not been in training for over a week, having made a very public transfer request last weekend. Meanwhile, Atalanta have rejected two bids from the Nerazzurri. Most recently an offer worth €45 million with add-ons.

And in the meantime, the Nerazzurri are waiting for something concrete from Atalanta. It has continued to be radio silence from the Bergamo club. There has been no formal counteroffer or valuation for Inter to base another offer on. Therefore, the Gazzetta report, the negotiations are at a 'complete standstill.' Sooner or later, there will be a decisive development. One way or another. However, for now, things could drag on for several more days, the newspaper reports.

Gazzetta: Inter set Lookman limit, Napoli option not over yet
Monday's reports claim that Inter have set their price limit for their no.1 transfer target Ademola Lookman, and that Napoli's interest in the Nigeria international is not over just yet. Inter have been attempting to pull off a move for Atalanta forward Lookman for several weeks, but as things stand, have not found a breakthrough in negotiations with La Dea, who are reluctant to sell one of their star players to a direct league rival. The Nerazzurri have seen an offer of €45m including bonuses turned down for the reigning African Player of the Year, which led to his releasing a statement via social media accusing Atalanta of breaking promises and that he had been treated poorly as a person and professional.

(Photo by) Lookman had also claimed that he had an agreement in place with Atalanta that he would be able to leave this summer should an appropriate offer come in. Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi has since clarified that while there is an agreement in place to let Lookman leave this summer, it is only for a 'top' club outside of Italy. In frustration, Lookman decided to not report for training with La Dea, and for now, the situation remains locked in a stalemate.

(Photo by) According to updates from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have decided that they are not prepared to go beyond their current price limit for Lookman, which is understood to be at €45m before bonuses, and €50m including them. However, as things stand, there has been little contact with Atalanta, who are trying to show that they are not particularly keen on negotiating with a competitor from the same league. Meanwhile, La Gazzetta dello Sport adds that Napoli, who had originally expressed an interest in signing Lookman as a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in January, are not completely out of the running, and that they could be ready to pounce if Inter decide to back out of negotiations.

Liverpool See PSG, Tottenham-Linked Attacker as Alexander Isak Alternative
Rodrygo's future at Real Madrid is starting to come under scrutiny after a rollercoaster showing at the Club World Cup, fueling speculation about a potential move to PSG. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has shared his thoughts as the summer window heats up. PSG's interest in Rodrygo isn't entirely clear. Josué Cassé from Foot Mercato says the Brazilian forward isn't currently on PSG's radar, which conflicts with Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg, who also ruled out Tottenham Hotspur as a possible destination. Still, Plettenberg mentioned that Liverpool and PSG are closely watching Rodrygo's situation. PSG is reportedly serious about signing a top young winger, but any deal will likely depend on how the transfer window unfolds in the coming weeks. Will Real Madrid star leave amid PSG links?On Monday, CaughtOffside reported, citing sources, that Liverpool are closely tracking his situation and view him as a prime alternative should their pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak fail. Arsenal reportedly eye the winger as a strong fallback option if their attempts to sign Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze don't materialize. However, any move from the Gunners would likely require them to sell one of their left-wingers this summer. Moreover, Tottenham have entered the race, reportedly identifying Rodrygo as a potential successor to Son Heung-min, who has left the club for MLS. Spurs have already made contact with the player's representatives to gauge his interest. Then there's Manchester City, whose long-standing admiration for Rodrygo reportedly remains intact, with Pep Guardiola keen to revisit a deal the club once tried to secure before his move to Madrid. The idea of a swap involving Rodri has been floated, but City appears hesitant to pursue that option seriously. The CaughtOffside report concludes that Real Madrid are reportedly open to selling Rodrygo if the right offer comes in, with the club valuing him between €90 million and €100 million. The report says the club would likely accept any bid near the higher end.
