According to reports, Thomas Tuchel is preparing a future with Armando Broja at Chelsea and would 'bring him home' following his loan term at Southampton.Broja has had a strong season for the Saints, scoring nine goals in all competitions for Ralph Hasenhuttl's side, as well as three goals and two assists in seven World Cup qualifiers for Albania.
His performances have drew the attention of fans all around Europe, with a report on Thursday claiming that Napoli have the 20-year-old in the'spotlight' as a possible replacement for Victor Osimhen, who has been linked with Manchester United.
However, according to Tuttomercato (via Sport Witness), Broja is unlikely to join Napoli this summer, despite Tuchel's desire to have him in his team next season.Tuchel is said to want to 'bring him home' from St Mary's and for the Albanian to'return to Chelsea' before deciding his future.
The club's continuous search for a new owner, according to the article, creates a 'difficult scenario,' because Broja and his representatives have no idea with whom they will speak.
However, it is believed that he will continue in the Premier League in any case.
Hasenhuttl is hopeful of extending Broja's loan at Southampton for another season, but acknowledges they are having trouble finding the right person or persons to deal with at Stamford Bridge.With Chelsea's future uncertain due to continuing takeover talks, the Austrian admits that his team will have to be patient for the time being as they focus on finishing in the top half of the table.
Hasenhuttl remarked of Broja's status, "We are debating this matter at the moment.We are all aware of the situation at Chelsea, which is undergoing significant changes.
"At the present, finding the correct person to meet with and discuss player futures is difficult.
"Perhaps it's easier to focus on your job and perform a good job till the end of the season. This benefits both him and us.
"The higher we finish in the standings, the more appealing we are to all of the players, and that is our goal for the last seven games."
