Chelsea could demand a sizable fee from Everton to cancel the loan deal of Armando Broja, according to BBC Sport.
The online outlet reported on 30 January that the Toffees have been working towards an agreement with the Blues to potentially cut the striker’s temporary move short.
This comes after the Albanian international picked up an injury against Peterborough United which could rule him out for the season.
With the Merseyside outfit already at their limit for loan signings, Enzo Maresca’s side could ask for a “large fee” to cancel the agreement early, considering there is a danger of his transfer value dropping.
Chelsea to demand fee for Everton to cancel Armando Broja loan
It came as a huge blow that the former Southampton loanee was forced off during the FA Cup clash after finally recovering from another long-term issue.
With that being said, the striker did put in some positive performances leading the line under Sean Dyche and was only likely to improve with regular minutes.
This was halted when he went down against Peterborough and now the L4 club are working on methods to get him off the books before the end of the winter window.
This would not only save on wages but also allow David Moyes to bring in another loan before the window slams shut on 3 February.
If this can be agreed with Chelsea, this could hand the Goodison side a boost for the rest of the season and allow the manager to alter the squad in his image.
