Chelsea news, information, and commentary
After recovering from a serious injury, the 22-year-old has made 13 Premier League appearances this season, and manager Mauricio Pochettino seems to have faith in him.
However, he represents one of Chelsea’s simplest ways to balance the books and follow financial fair play regulations, with every sale counted as 100% pure profit, much like fellow academy graduate Conor Gallagher.
Broja is already attracting a lot of interest from teams, with Wolves, Fulham, and West Ham among them eager to sign him.
However, given that Chelsea was reportedly holding out for at least £50 million for the forward, any deal this month was doubtful. However, The Sun is now saying that the situation has altered.
The west Londoners will now approve Broja’s sale provided they receive an offer of around £35 million, and they will even permit him to depart on a temporary loan.
Chelsea is willing to help any teams interested in signing Broja by taking a loan with a buyout requirement in the summer because they understand how difficult it can be for teams similar to their own to adhere to FFP regulations.

Lewis Hall’s summer loan move to Newcastle was akin to Chelsea’s previous arrangement, even though both teams were prepared to fight for a spot in the Champions League.
Though Eddie Howe said that Newcastle might decide not to sign Hall permanently, something Chelsea does not want to happen again with Broja, they are likely to demand an obligation-to-buy clause as part of the loan this time.
The £35 million price tag seems more appropriate for a player who, despite his obvious talent, has only scored twice this year and is currently recovering from a serious injury sustained last year.
Given that Christopher Nkunku is still dealing with injuries and Nicolas Jackson is now away at the Africa Cup of Nations, Chelsea may not have many choices in the short term if Broja leaves.
Despite having given Broja a lot of chances, Pochettino issued a warning following his FA Cup goal against Preston, saying, “He needs to use this type of game to improve.” He needs to step up, go forward, smile more, and be more optimistic in order to develop not only in his physical fitness but also in his work ethic.
“We are talking about one of the most talented young strikers in Europe or England. The potential is incredible.” We will endeavour to assist him in realising that hard effort and perseverance are essential, and he must push himself in this direction.
