Napoli are reportedly targeting one Chelsea defender, with former Blues head coach Antonio Conte keen on the transfer.
Serie A champions Napoli have reportedly targeted Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah as former Blues manager Antonio Conte plots a transfer raid.
The 25-year-old enjoyed a resurgence under Enzo Maresca in the latter half of the 2024-25 season after his loan at Crystal Palace, starting 11 Premier League matches and playing a key role in Chelsea's Conference League final victory over Real Betis.

Conte eyes Chalobah swoop
Chalobah's form has caught the attention of England manager Thomas Tuchel, who has included him in the squad for upcoming fixtures.
Despite the defender’s impressive development, the Blues are wary that he may struggle for game time next season, especially with the expected return of Wesley Fofana to the defence.
Thus, the club might consider allowing him to leave for his career progression, as per The Telegraph.
With Chelsea also considering the signing of a new defender, Chalobah, who has made just one appearance shy of 100 matches for the club, having scored five goals and provided two assists in his first 99 outings, could depart to make room for possible new arrivals.
What’s next for Chelsea?
Enzo Maresca’s team will face LAFC on June 16, Flamengo on June 20 and ES Tunis five days later in their Club World Cup campaign.
