Chelsea name their asking price for Armando Broja

The Blues have named their asking price for Armando Broja as two Premier League clubs eye up a loan deal for the striker.

Chelsea want a £5 million loan fee for striker Armando Broja, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Blues are willing to loan Broja going into the final hours of the winter transfer market. Wolves and Fulham are interested in the 22-year-old Albanian, but they don’t want to pay a £5 million loan fee.

The two Premier League clubs are both still ‘insisting’ on doing a deal. The Athletic has added that Chelsea have already rejected an offer from Wolves.

Broja’s availability comes after a difficult two seasons at Stamford Bridge. The Albanian was out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury for nine months. He returned to action on September 24, when Chelsea lost 1-0 to Aston Villa at home.

In the 2023/24 campaign, Broja has managed two goals and two assists in 19 games across all competitions.

Chelsea would prefer to sell or loan Broja with an obligation to buy at a reasonable fee. However, as the transfer window closes at 23:00 (GMT) on Thursday, they have become more flexible.
