Chelsea have dramatically reduced Armando Broja’s asking price from the £50million they demanded in January, Express Sport understands. The 22-year-old is set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, and the fact he came through the club’s academy system means his sale would be accounted for as pure profit.
The Blues are looking to raise cash through player sales ahead of June 30 – the deadline to meet Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). After his disappointing loan spell at Fulham, Broja was informed that he is surplus to requirements at Chelsea.
With the crucial PSR date looming, the Londoners are keen to agree an exit for Broja as soon as possible. And the player himself wants clarity on his future so he can prepare for next season.

Todd Boehly and co demanded £50m when the likes of Wolves and West Ham showed interest in Broja during the January transfer window. Less than six months on, Chelsea’s asking price is understood to have dropped to £30m.
And there is a general feeling that the Blues may have to slash it even further to meet their self-imposed deadline as interested parties look to exploit their need to sell before June 30. The presence of Euro 2024 between now and the end of next month could complicate matters further.
