Will Chelsea really sell Broja and try to re-sign Abraham?

Well, the 2021/22 Premier League is now winding down. A simultaneous finale of matches is due to begin at 4pm, Sunday. Chelsea, already guaranteed third, meet relegated Watford. Incidentally, games on the last day of the season are played at the same time to make it more difficult for any potentially partisan scenarios to develop. Basically the powers that be, correctly, don’t want anybody or any team giving friends or associates a favour by not committing. Additionally, there could be a situation where one club wants to benefit another for quid pro quo – I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine.

With regard to the takeover saga on Fulham Road, it appears now – following multiple reported issues – that the consortium involving Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital is nearing the finish line. In the past week, new directors were appointed to the Blues’ ‘new corporate structure’, according to Nizaar Kinsella. Here is the list of whom joins CFC: Behdad Eghbali, James Pade, Mark Walter, Jose Feliciano and Hansjorg Wyss. If the deal can be pushed through by a May 31 deadline, which is supposedly probable, then the West London outfit can begin conducting transfer business. This shall obviously incorporate, desperately, renewing existing athletes’ contracts.

Are Chelsea tracking Tammy Abraham and considering selling Armando Broja?

There are numerous stars from around the footballing world currently linked with prospective moves to Stamford Bridge. Naturally. What Pride of London aims to do is isolate realistic and feasible hearsay by understanding source levels and predicting what Chelsea are generally more likely to do. Some connections will not occur, or even be spurious. Yet there are also always surprises.

PoL understands, from publicly available suggestions, that Thomas Tuchel’s side desire a centreback. As per the reliable Kinsella, once more, Jules Kounde is the main target. However, with Romelu Lukaku suffering a clearly uneasy second stint at the Bridge, speculation continues to surround the Belgian international’s future. That means if Lukaku returns to italy or elsewhere, an out-and-out striker would be required at CFC.

There is also the strong possibility that the 29-year-old could be afforded a prolonged period to revive his Blues career further, following a slight uptick recently. Presently there is optimism among Chels’ support over the potential of Armando Broja. He is, as you’ll know, on loan duty at fellow English top-flight club, Southampton.

This term, Broja made his name on the biggest domestic stage around: scoring eight in all competitions with the Saints. Members of the faithful are confident he may perhaps be impactful enough to become an understudy for Chelsea. Or, one day, the Albanian might even get a chance as the main No.9 – the most significant of roles.

Though claims concerning the 20-year-old state Inter Milan, AC Milan, West Ham and Newcastle United are eyeing him. Tuchel’s will arguably have the ultimate input here. We will know more when preseason friendlies start.

Is Tammy Abraham making a Chelsea comeback realistic? Stranger things have happened. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo ended up returning to a relatively dismal Manchester United. Therefore Abraham coming back to a Blues side with, debatably, the exact same aspirations under new, soon-to-be ownership is within the realm of possibility.

If the forward had stayed in England’s capital this year, would he have increasingly flourished in the German’s system comparatively to Lukaku? It is a distinctly credible theory. However, while Chels’ are credited with monitoring their onetime attacker, he says his heart is with Roma following a successful season. A revival in London feels unlikely.
