AC Milan may make a second attempt to sign Chelsea youngster Armando Broja in the summer, having already shown an interest in him in the past.
Broja is currently on loan at Southampton, where he has established himself as a key player under Ralph Hassenhuttl, with nine goals and one assist in 31 games in all competitions so far.
The 20-year-old has earned himself a growing reputation as a result, and this summer is looking likely to be a big one for him as a result.
He will have to make the decision to either remain at Chelsea or follow the path laid out by many Blues youngsters before him and look for another move away.
If it’s the latter, then there are likely to be a number of interested parties, with the Albanian’s performances this season proving his talent and earning him admirers.
One of those appears to be AC Milan, who, according to journalist Carlo Pelegatti, have already expressed an interest.
“Before the tragic events between Russia and Ukraine that prompted the British government to sanction Abramovich, Milan were monitoring the situation,” Radio Rossonera report him saying.
“The hypothesis was that of a loan. In Albania, they are very passionate about Italian football. For Broja, the Milan hypothesis would have been important.
“I’m told the player is valued at €70 million. I don’t exclude that Milan could have taken him on loan. As of today, however, Milan is very cautious on the subject: the situation has become complicated.
“The Rossoneri management cannot wait for Chelsea’s corporate evolution: if a new ownership and new managers arrive, Milan could return Broja.
“That is if they don’t close first with Origi, who is currently the number one candidate. With sustainable figures, Milan can think about it.”
