Chelsea ready to sell striker for €60m

Obviously at some point, you have to know how to sell. For almost two years and the takeover of the club by Todd Boehly, Chelsea has been the focus of the international press with its setbacks and its numerous transfers. Finally, in the sense of arrivals because as far as departures are concerned, the majority are loans here and there, in Strasbourg or elsewhere in other clubs in the BlueCo galaxy. The situation could finally change during this winter transfer window.

There is such competition and such density in this squad that Mauricio Pochettino has to push the walls of his locker room to make room. This is particularly the case in attack even if numerous injuries, such as that of Christopher Nkunku, have undermined the work of the Argentine coach. He took the opportunity to give Armando Broja a chance. A choice somewhat by default since the attacker is still recovering from a very long injury: a rupture of the cruciate ligaments which occurred last season and spread over the start of this year. Returning in mid-September, he did not take advantage of the playing time offered.

Armando Broja is for sale

The 22-year-old has only scored 2 goals (and 1 assist) in 17 games in all competitions. In recent weeks, he has often even started in the shoes of a starter, without ever convincing many people, like the collective. Enough to make management impatient and force Pochettino to make sporting choices. Victim of his poor performances, the Albanian international was put on the transfer list. Pricing, depending on The Telegraph, €60 million. Some people in management would even have reached €70 million…

A large sum of money that not everyone can afford, except in the Premier League. Broja still maintains a good rating on the market because England has not forgotten his good period at Southampton on loan before his serious injury. He is also in the sights of Wolverhampton, Fulham and West Ham, but they are not yet ready to write such a check. If the Blues are so ambitious for this sale, it is because they are referring to a certain Rasmus Hojlund, recruited for €83 million this summer by Manchester United.
