It was announced earlier today that Chelsea has extended Omari Hutchinson’s contract until 2026 by exercising the one-year option. Omari should have additional options in summer as a result of the transfer, including the possibility of a new loan. His contract was originally set to expire at the end of the following season.

According to the BBC, a return to Ipswich Town is possible, particularly as Kieran McKenna appears to be staying on as head coach. Chelsea, on the other hand, would welcome the financial perks. Ben Jacobs believes that £25 million, whether in the form of a direct transfer or a loan with a (conditioned) obligation, would be sufficient to persuade us.

After impressing in the Championship this season, the 20-year-old winger has apparently piqued the interest of several Eredivisie clubs, including VfB Stuttgart, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Ajax, and Feyenoord.

Chelsea has lowered their asking price for the player they want to sell “as soon as possible” to £30 million, according to an exclusive.

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

Chelsea wants to sell the striker “as soon as possible,” and the player is keen to leave as he tries to relaunch his career; the asking price has dropped from £50 million, which was unachievable in January, to £30 million.

It’s hardly surprising that Chelsea has reduced the asking price, and we wouldn’t be surprised if they do so again.

Brоjа had a promising start while on loan at Vitesse and Soutton, but has since failed to sign. This was already a sign of his former self after spending time on the Chelsea bench due to an injury, another period on the bench, and finally a massive loan to Fulham.

As the Blues look to trade their striker, more cuts may be in store.
Given that the striker struggled to make an impression in the second half of this season at Fulham, it may be difficult to generate any interest in him, even for £30 million.

This season’s PSR accounting period ends on June 30th, and Chelsea hopes to finalize at least a few trades before then, according to the Express piece. If the club decides it is critical to bring in some money to avoid fines and there is no interest at this level, Broja’s price may be reduced further.

It’ll be fascinating to see how other players’ sales affect this one. If Broja sells for £30 million in the coming weeks, it will relieve a lot of pressure on other academy players like Trevoh Chalobah and Conor Gallagher, who are now being scrutinized as the deadline approaches.
