Italian club Como have signed defender Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea in a deal worth more than £30m.
The 27-year-old has signed a five-year contract with Cesc Fabregas' side, who secured Champions League qualification by finishing fourth in Serie A last season.
Chelsea will receive an initial £25.7m, with a further £5.1m available in add-ons following protracted negotiations.
The centre-back, who has two senior England caps and was a late call-up to their World Cup squad, leaves his boyhood team after nearly 20 years, having joined Chelsea as a child.
"Trevoh is an important signing for us and a player who represents the level of ambition we have at this club," said Fabregas, who was briefly a team-mate of the centre-back during his time at Stamford Bridge.
