Earlier today, it was reported that Chelsea has extended Omari Hutchinson’s contract to 2026 by exercising the one-year option. Omari should have more alternatives this summer as a result of the move, including the possibility of a new loan. The original expiration date of his contract was the conclusion of the following season.

Even a return to Ipswich Town could be in the cards, according to the BBC, especially with Kieran McKenna seemingly set to remain on as head coach. However, Chelsea certainly wouldn’t mind reaping the financial benefits, either. Whether it’s a direct transfer or a loan with a (conditioned) obligation, £25 million would be sufficient to convince us of that, according to Ben Jacobs.

After making an impression in the Championship this season, the 20-year-old winger has reportedly attracted interest from a number of clubs, including Vfb Stuttgart, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Ajax, and Feyenoord in the Eredivisie.

Chelsea have reduced their asking price for the player they wish to sell “as soon as possible” to £30 million, according to an exclusive.

According to the Daily Express, Chelsea’s asking price for Armando Broja has been “dramatically reduced”.

Chelsea is aiming to sell the striker “as soon as possible” and the player is eager to leave as he tries to restart his career; the price has fallen from £50 million, which was impossible in January, to £30 million.

It doesn’t surprise us that Chelsea has lowered the asking price, and it wouldn’t surprise us if they did it again.

As the Blues seek to move their striker, further cuts could be in store.
Given that the striker failed to make an impact in the second part of this season at Fulham, it may be difficult to attract too much interest in him, even for £30 million.

This season’s PSR accounting period concludes on June 30th, and Chelsea would like to close at least a few deals before then, as mentioned in the Express article. If the club believes it is crucial to get some money in to avoid penalties and there is no interest at this level, Broja’s price could be lowered again.

It will be fascinating to watch how other players’ sales impact this one. If Broja does go for £30 million in the next few weeks, it will relieve a lot of pressure on other academy players like Trevoh Chalobah and Conor Gallagher, who are currently under a lot of scrutiny as the deadline approaches.
