AC Milan establish first contact with Chelsea’s 22-year-old forward

Seria A side, AC Milan have reportedly established new contacts with Chelsea regarding 22-year-old attacking prospect Armando Broja who is also a target for Everton.

Having failed to secure the starting spot at Stamford Bridge, Broja spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham. However, the youngster managed only 81 minutes of game time across eight outings for the West London club.

According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Armando Broja is the subject of interest from AC Milan who are eager to strengthen their frontline. AC Milan have signed Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid as Oliver Giroud’s replacement but want another centre-forward due to Luka Jovic’s inconsistencies.

Meanwhile, Everton are looking for a new forward as Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto face an uncertain future at Goodison Park. The Toffees are willing to part ways with the latter and the former ready to embark on a new adventure.

Broja is currently on pre-season tour with Chelsea and will be allowed to leave camp if AC Milan or Everton meet his valuation.

With the Rossoneri pushing hard to secure Armando Broja’s services, Everton must raise the bar to leapfrog the Italian giants in the race to sign the 22-year-old Chelsea prospect. It will be interesting to see where the Albanian international plies his trade in the 2024/25 season.
