Chelsea star Armando Broja wanted by Champions League giants and could link up with two former team-mates
Chelsea star Armando Broja wanted by Champions League giants and could link up with two former team-mates. AC MILAN are keen to sign Chelsea striker Armando Broja. But SunSport understands the Italian giants will likely need to sell before buying.
That could see the exit of former Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic, who is set to face England in Sunday’s Euro 2024 group-opener against Serbia. Broja , also at the Euros with Albania, endured a nightmare loan with Fulham in the second half of the season.
The 22-year-old he made just eight appearances and all from the bench. It was the third loan of his career after previous spells at Vitesse and Southampton. Overall, he has scored three goals in 38 games for his parent club.
Chelsea need to sell players to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules and selling academy graduates like Broja equates to pure profit. Milan have done plenty of business with the Blues in recent years, having signed Ruben Loftus- Cheek and Fikayo Tomori from the West Londoners.
The Serie A stalwarts, who are expected to appoint ex-Lille and Roma manager Paulo Fonseca as their new boss, also want to sign Tottenham right-back Emerson Royal, 25. Reports suggest there is a gap between the two club’s valuations – but there is hope a deal can be agreed.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have already made their first signing of the Enzo Maresca era as they completed a move for Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo , 26, on a free transfer.
