Chelsea willing to end 14+ year association with forward for £50m

Chelsea reveal £50m price-tag for striker Armando Broja

The long-term future of Armando Broja at Chelsea is under serious threat. The player has not been up to the mark, prompting the Blues to look for alternatives. In an ideal world, Mauricio Pochettino could have done with the Armenian striker at Chelsea, hoping for him to fine-tune his skills, but the club is under serious threat of FFP sanctions as well.

And for that, the club HAS to let go of a few players The likes of Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja fall in this category because a potential sale of these players can stand shown in the books as “pure profits”. Chelsea have not spent money on recruiting them both, as they have come up from the Cobham Academy.

Chelsea need to be conscious of Profitability & Sustainability Rules and have placed a price tag of £50m for Armando Broja as per Sky Sports. The Berkshire-born striker has been part of the Chelsea system since 2009 and has had two loan spells during his time at Stamford Bridge.

His most recent spell out on loan, at Southampton was fairly successful as he scored nine goals and got one assist in 38 appearances for the Saints. Fulham and Wolves are among the interested parties in securing the services of Broja. In 36 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions, he has three goals and two assists to boot.

What next for Broja?

As Chelsea navigate the complexities of financial regulations and seeks to fortify its financial standing, the club’s decision to place a £50 million price tag on Broja serves as a strategic move. The valuation not only positions Broja as an asset with significant market value but also aligns with Chelsea’s broader efforts to ensure fiscal responsibility in the current football landscape.

The Berkshire-born striker’s potential departure could contribute to Chelsea’s financial stability while offering him the opportunity to further his career with a fresh start at a new club.
