AS Monaco Ends Pursuit of Chelsea's Armando Broja

AS Monaco has abandoned its pursuit of Chelsea forward Armando Broja, opting instead to focus on signing FC Metz's Georges Mikautadze.

Despite interest from Monaco, AC Milan, and Watford, Chelsea's high asking price for the Albanian international has stalled negotiations.

Armando Broja, a product of Chelsea's academy, has found it challenging to establish himself in the team's first XI. His loan spell at Fulham was underwhelming, and he is now expected to leave Chelsea on a permanent basis this summer. Although Monaco has withdrawn its interest, other clubs like Wolves, Crystal Palace, and Everton remain in the running to sign the 22-year-old striker.

Broja's career statistics show promise, with 26 appearances and 2 goals for Chelsea. During his loan move to Southampton in the 2021-22 season, he scored 8 goals, showcasing his potential. However, his recent loan spell at Fulham yielded no goals in 8 appearances, highlighting his inconsistent form. As the transfer window unfolds, Broja's future remains uncertain, with several clubs vying for his signature.
