Chelsea ‘view’ on £27m Armando Broja transfer as AC Milan fancy chances due to two things | Football | Sport

Chelsea have reportedly labelled academy graduate Armando Broja as ‘transferable’ despite the striker penning a new long-term deal this month. The Albanian forward is subject to interest from AC Milan, who are desperate to strengthen their ageing attack.Broja was heavily linked with a move away from the Blues over the summer and came very close to making the short trip to West Ham on a permanent basis. Though, after intense last-minute talks, Thomas Tuchel pulled the plug on the deal and the 21-year-old remained at the club.The German manager saw Broja as a long-term option at Stamford Bridge and was only willing to entertain loan offers for the striker. Though now that Tuchel has left, Chelsea appear to have had a change of heart.According to CalcioMercato, AC Milan feel they may be able to sign Broja for £27million in the coming transfer windows despite the former Southampton loanee penning a new deal that will keep him at the club until 2028. The Italian giants are aware that the forward is not entirely off of the market and are keen not to spend over the odds on a new No 9, believing that they will be in an advantageous position if he remains a rotational option in the Premier League under Graham Potter.READ MORE: Chelsea ‘could revisit three transfer deals’ as Graham Potter January priority identifiedSpeaking after he penned a new deal with Chelsea, Broja said: “I’m lost for words really just thinking about it. It’s the club I’ve dreamed of playing for my whole life, the club that I support and the club that I love. I’ve been here since I was a boy so it’s a surreal feeling for me and my family.“To be able to put on the blue shirt with the first team is a dream come true. It’s amazing every minute that you get to play on the pitch because this is one of the biggest clubs in the world. There’s always competition and everyone wants to play so I’m just happy that I have the opportunity to be a part of it. Hopefully, I get to play a lot of matches and be a part of the team’s success.”
