The Guardian: Southampton want to buy out Broia and Chelsea are considering it

According to the Guardian, Southampton are in talks with Chelsea over the buyout of Broia.

The 20-year-old Broia, who was loaned to Southampton by Chelsea this season, has performed well in the Saints, scoring five league goals to date, with the Saints looking to buy out the player.

Whether the Albania international is in Chelsea's long-term plans remains to be seen, with the situation expected to be clearer this week, with Southampton knowing that if the striker enters the market, other clubs will also compete with them.

Broia was loaned to Vitesse last season and has been a Chelsea fan since he was a child and is from the Blues' academy. He made his first-team debut in March 2020 and his current contract expires in 2026. Tuchel, who watched Broia's growth and performance up close last summer, may hope the players will make some difference next season.

It is thought that if Broia stays in the team next season, he will be given a chance to enter the first team. Chelsea's striker group has been erratic this season, so Broia may have a breakthrough.

Chelsea fans will want Broia a chance, and the Blues first team already has academy players such as Mount, James, Chaloba and Hudoly, but the departure of youth players such as Rivramento, Lewis Bette, Tammy Abraham and Guy is still frustrating.
