DEVASTATING NEWS: reported by Football guru Fabrizio Romano, ” don’t mean to disrespect the club and the fans but I’m no longer happy here mentally and emotionally it’s time to leave I can see it the club no longer wants me here”. Chelsea star player, valued at £50 million, has expressed to Pochettino his desire to end his tenure at Stamford Bridge. Aston Villa are said to be in hot pursuit for the Chelsea star.
Four Premier League teams are reportedly eyeing Armando Broja, with reports suggesting the striker may leave Chelsea this month. Aston Villa is one of those teams.
Broja stands among the potential departures from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea endeavors to replenish funds after a period of substantial expenditure. Much like academy graduate Conor Gallagher, who has been linked with Tottenham, the sale of Broja would translate into pure profit for the club, exposing such players to potential transfer moves.
Fulham has emerged as a prominent suitor for the 22-year-old, as Marco Silva’s team finds itself in need of a striker. However, Fulham’s interest seems limited to a loan deal. Journalist Ben Jacobs, in communication with GiveMeSport, has indicated that Aston Villa has displayed interest in securing Broja’s services.
The links to Villa add an intriguing dimension, particularly in light of Chelsea’s purported interest in Jhon Duran. Despite the 20-year-old’s arrival at Villa Park last summer, all of his 14 Premier League appearances have been as a substitute, with Ollie Watkins consistently occupying the starting lineup.
As of now, no concrete offers have materialized for Duran, but any potential departure would mandate the identification of a suitable replacement. Reports suggest that Chelsea might set an asking price of £50 million for Broja, yet Jacobs posits that offers in the vicinity of £35 million would be adequate to initiate negotiations with Stamford Bridge officials.
