Chelsea is prepared to sell Armando Broja as Jose Mourinho looks to reunite with Manchester United.
Armando Broja, the talented striker from Chelsea, is causing quite a stir in the transfer market. According to The Mirror, Chelsea is open to selling either Conor Gallagher or Broja, but it seems that the latter is more likely to leave. Both Fulham and Wolves have expressed their interest in the player, with a potential price tag of around £40 million. Chelsea had initially demanded £50 million for Broja, but they may be willing to accept a lower offer as they aim to shake up their squad. However, it is uncertain whether a deal will be reached before the transfer deadline.
Meanwhile, Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos could be sent out on loan once again. After failing to make an impact at Nottingham Forest, the Brazilian teenager is being considered for a loan move to Chelsea’s sister club, Strasbourg. Santos was recalled early from his previous loan due to a lack of appearances, and Chelsea sees Strasbourg as a valuable platform for developing their young talents. Santos joined Chelsea in January last year after catching the attention of Premier League clubs with his impressive performances at the U-20 World Cup.
In a surprising turn of events, Jose Mourinho is reportedly interested in making a comeback to Manchester United. The Portuguese manager, who was sacked by Roma earlier this month, feels that he has unfinished business at Old Trafford. Sources close to Mourinho reveal that he has made it his mission to take charge of Manchester United again if the opportunity arises in the future. Mourinho is also keen to work with the new regime at United, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS taking over football operations as part of their investment in the club.
Crystal Palace is considering a loan move for West Ham winger Maxwel Cornet. The Ivory Coast international, who can play in defence or further up the pitch, could be allowed to leave West Ham as they look to bring in a wide forward before the transfer deadline. Palace has shown interest in a six-month loan deal for Cornet, who recently scored against Sheffield United in his first Premier League start of the season. His versatility would provide valuable cover for Roy Hodgson’s squad as they aim to climb up the table. Nottingham Forest had also considered Cornet, but they have shifted their focus to securing a deal for USA forward Gio Reyna.
