Chelsea have slapped a £35 million price tag on Armando Broja, and they are hoping to make a pure profit from selling their academy player this year.
According to the Sun, (h/t ESPN), the Blues earlier valued Broja at £50 million but now have lowered his fee and are willing to accept a loan with an obligation to buy next summer.
The academy player returned from a long-term injury this campaign and has two goals in 17 appearances this season, with the majority of them coming off the bench.
Fulham and Wolves have expressed interest in signing him, but they could find it tough to pay his price as they want to adhere to Premier League profitability and sustainability rules.
So a loan move could be possible for them. But the Blues want the full £35 million for the striker next season as they want to make a pure profit from his exit, given that the 22-year-old is an academy player.
This will help the club prompt new signings, as so far in the winter transfer window, the club hasn’t been active and is hoping to offload some players to generate revenue that could be used to recruit new players next summer.
Chelsea are looking to add a new striker, and there are a few options the club has shortlisted: Victor Osimhen, Ivan Toney, and Viktor Gyokeres. If they manage to land any of them, then the departure of one of their forwards is imminent.
And Broja might be the one to go given that Nicolas Jackson is ahead of him in the Blues’ pecking order. If we sign another centre-forward, he will drop even further in the hierarchy, which is detrimental for a guy with such bright potential. It would be best for him to move away to further blossom his talents.
The club needs an experienced striker, and it’s a cry for help because we have been subpar in front of the goal, and it needs to be addressed sooner if we want to challenge for silverware.
