Armando Broja is reportedly open to a loan move from Chelsea in January, but he insists on a deal that includes an option for a permanent £35 million transfer by the summer.
His limited playing time at Stamford Bridge has attracted interest from Wolves and Fulham.
The Sun suggests that under the right circumstances, Chelsea might allow Broja to leave this January.
Despite being an Albanian international and showing promise during a loan spell at Southampton, Broja has struggled to secure a spot in Mauricio Pochettino’s first team this season.
Injuries have played a role in his challenges, and it seems that he may not quite fit Chelsea’s current needs.
A move in January could benefit all parties involved.
The uncertainty lies in finding a club willing to agree to Chelsea’s terms for a loan with a £35 million buyout clause.
However, if the 22-year-old manages to revitalize his career, the deal could prove to be a bargain in the long run.
Chelsea, keen on making a profit, sees the potential sale of Broja, a homegrown player, as a means to free up a substantial portion of their transfer budget for new acquisitions.
The club likely hopes that this strategic move will contribute to their financial flexibility while allowing Broja the opportunity to further develop his career elsewhere.
