According to i News, Armando Broja is interested in joining Everton from Chelsea before the transfer deadline.
Mark Douglas reported on August 12 that Everton has made an inquiry about Broja, but due to budget constraints, any potential move would be a loan deal.
Everton’s ability to secure Broja depends on offloading Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
However, there have been no approaches for Calvert-Lewin since Newcastle’s interest earlier in the summer.
Everton would consider offers for Calvert-Lewin, who is in the final year of his contract, but there’s currently little interest.
Broja is expected to leave Chelsea before the deadline, having been training separately from the first team.
A loan move is possible, with Stuttgart reportedly in initial talks.
However, Broja appears to prefer staying in the Premier League.Calvert-Lewin’s situation complicates matters for Everton.
He recently scored in a friendly against Roma and would likely be the team’s top striker if he stays.
There’s disagreement within the club about potentially losing him for free next summer.
Previous talks with Newcastle for Calvert-Lewin failed, and interest from clubs like Manchester United hasn’t materialized.
If a sudden offer for Calvert-Lewin arrives before the deadline, it could be frustrating for Everton and Broja if he’s already been loaned to a Bundesliga club, given the long-standing link between Broja and Everton this summer.
