“Don’t sell me Enzo Maresca” “I want to fight for my place” – Chelsea star tells club not to sell him
Although Armando Broja acknowledged receiving offers this summer, he hasn’t ruled out staying at Chelsea.
Although Broja has a contract with Stamford Bridge that expires in 2028, it is anticipated that the team would try to let go of a number of players this summer.
The Albanian international’s Euro 2024 campaign was unfortunate as his nation was eliminated in the group stage; nonetheless, he can now devote all of his attention to his future.
Broja speaks on his future
Broja returned to action for Chelsea last September following a long lay-off with an ACL injury, and scored on his first start against Fulham in October.
However, opportunities were scarce in the first half of the season, and when given them Broja failed to impress, with Chelsea open to selling him in January.
There were no takers at the club’s ambitious £50m asking price and Broja joined Fulham on loan in an attempt to get regular minutes and boost his transfer value.
The loan was a disaster and Broja saw just 80 minutes of action at Craven Cottage before returning to Chelsea at the end of the season.
Italian giants AC Milan have expressed an interest as have Premier League sides Wolves and Everton, but as of yet nothing has materialised.
The 22-year-old has been speaking on his future and revealed he has had offers, but didn’t rule out remaining at Chelsea.
“I would tell him (Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Milan senior advisor) first of all that I am a big fan of his, I have always liked him as a player,” he told Albania’s RTV Klan.
“Milan is a great club, second only to Real Madrid in history. I would tell him that I have to speak to the agent and the family, then I will tell him know.
“It’s true, I have offers from these three championships (Serie A, Bundesliga, Premier League). Staying at Chelsea? Is it an option, I still have a contract with them that expires in many years.”
Chelsea are looking for a striker to compete with Nicolas Jackson and have signed Barcelona teenager Marc Guiu, but are reportedly still looking to bring in another forward.
