According to various reports, Fulham is set to pay Chelsea £4 million as part of their loan agreement for Armando Broja.
Broja, seeking more playing time, joined Fulham during the January transfer window. However, the 22-year-old has only made four substitute appearances in Premier League matches for Fulham and has yet to secure a starting role.
MailOnline suggests that Chelsea allowed Fulham to sign Broja for free under the condition that he plays in at least 60% of Fulham’s remaining games.
Additionally, it is reported that Fulham will be obligated to pay Chelsea a £4 million loan fee if Broja does not start all ten of Fulham’s remaining matches.
Broja faces stiff competition for playing time in Fulham’s attack, particularly from Rodrigo Muniz, who has been in fine form with five goals in his last six games.
Additionally, the imminent return of Raul Jimenez from injury adds further competition for forward positions at Fulham.
In a recent statement, Fulham manager Marco Silva addressed Broja’s situation, emphasizing the need for patience and hard work.
Silva expressed his belief that Broja has the potential to succeed at Fulham but acknowledged the challenges of adapting to a new club and style of play.
Despite a delayed start at Fulham and a recent illness preventing him from featuring, Silva remains confident in Broja’s abilities and intends to integrate him into the team gradually.
The manager highlighted the importance of allowing Broja time to acclimate and understand Fulham’s playing philosophy.
while Broja’s loan spell at Fulham has encountered some setbacks, there is optimism surrounding his potential contribution to the team.
With patience, hard work, and support from the coaching staff, Broja has the opportunity to establish himself at Fulham and make a positive impact in the remaining matches of the season.
