Wolves reportedly made an approach for Armando Broja, but CHELSEA reportedly turned it down.
The 22-year-old Albanian striker Broja is up for sale and has a substantial £50 million price tag attached to him.
Under Mauricio Pochettino, he has only scored twice in 19 games this season, and the manager is still not sold on his abilities.
To lessen FFP, the Blues are prepared to trade him and Trevoh Chalobah, another Chelsea academy grad.
Selling the pair would allow them to avoid breaking any financial regulations because they would have more money to spend on new players because homegrown players are 100% profit.
However, it appears that Chelsea is only willing to let Broja go permanently.
On social media, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano asserted: “I understand Chelsea has rejected Wolves’ formal approach for Armando Broja.”
“Wolves have requested a loan of Broja, but Chelsea has no intention of moving forward at this time.”
However, based on their online reactions to the news, some supporters appeared to be desperate to see the strong forward go.
Someone wrote: “Who charmed Chelsea? Chelsea had a chance to cut through the undergrowth.
“Chelsea don’t need him,” asserted another, and “they should just let him go for real man,” asserted a third.
A fourth begged to be allowed to go.
One fifth, however, remarked, “Broja isn’t all that, so why are they gassing him up?”
Wolves are not the only team interested in Broja; Aston Villa, a rival team in the Midlands, has also expressed interest.
Additionally, Chelsea is interested in Villa striker Jhon Duran, 20, as team officials see the 20-year-old as a talent for the future. This suggests that a trade may be possible.
