Chelsea striker Armando Broja may not get a move to Wolverhampton Wanderers or Fulham today.

While Wolves and Fulham are both interested in Armando Broja, the two Premier League clubs are reluctant to pay the £5m loan fee Chelsea want for their player, journalist Jacob Steinberg has claimed on X.

Allowing Broja to join either Fulham or Wolves would leave Nicolas Jackson as the only recognised centre-forward in the Blues’ squad.

Even so, Chelsea still seem prepared to let the 22-year-old go if they get the right offer for him.

Broja has made just six starts in the Premier League under Mauricio Pochettino this season and has only scored one goal.

Fulham and Wolves reluctant to pay £5m fee for Armando Broja

£5m for a loan deal, especially for a short-term one like this one, is a lot of money.

It is no surprise, then, that Fulham and Wolves do not want to pay it. That kind of money is not going to transform Chelsea as a business, though.

If they are willing to let him go out on loan without an obligation to buy, at this point, letting Broja leave the club is probably more about getting him minutes. They have no other reason to send the Albania international out on a straight loan.

It will now be interesting to see if any club is willing to pay £5m to take Broja for the rest of the campaign. While it is a lot, it is still affordable, so do not rule it out.
