Chelsea Triggers Armando Broja’s loan terms.
Chelsea has earned £4 million as Armando Broja was omitted from the Fulham squad during their 3-0 victory over Tottenham.
Broja’s loan spell at Fulham has not unfolded as anticipated since his departure from Chelsea on deadline day at the end of the January transfer window.
Despite his switch, the striker has only managed to play for 48 minutes across four substitute appearances and seems unlikely to feature prominently in the remaining fixtures due to the exceptional form of Rodrigo Muniz.
Broja was notably absent from the bench against Tottenham, with Fulham manager Marco Silva confirming his omission from the squad was solely a “technical decision.”
Armando Broja’s Loan terms.
Under the terms of Broja’s loan agreement with Craven Cottage, Fulham must pay Chelsea £4 million if he fails to start in 10 matches.
With just nine fixtures remaining this season, Fulham has triggered this clause, rendering Broja’s move to Fulham a frustrating experience for the 22-year-old. He had aspired to revitalize his career after recuperating from a severe knee injury at Chelsea, aiming to showcase his form and fitness ahead of Euro 2024 with Albania.
Chelsea, intending to offload Broja this summer, had envisioned that the loan would enhance his market value.

However, Muniz’s exceptional performances have kept Broja out of the team, with the Brazilian striker emerging as one of the Premier League’s most in-form forwards, scoring seven goals in seven matches.
Muniz’s brace against Tottenham further highlighted his impact, denting their aspirations for a top-four finish.
