Chelsea is willing to negotiate with AC Milan for Armando Broja, but only a loan deal appears to be feasible at this time.
Armando Broja is still a target for AC Milan, according to Sport Witness via Corriere dello Sport, and Chelsea are reportedly willing to open talks with the Serie A giants. At this point, a loan deal appears feasible, but the Rossoneri would prefer a permanent capture.
Armando Broja is regarded as a future Chelsea star following a successful loan spell at Southampton last season. During the summer window, the forward put in a few good performances at St Marys, catching the attention of many clubs across the continent.
He reportedly came close to joining West Ham in the summer, with the Hammers willing to listen to offers.

Chelsea re-signed him to a new six-year contract to ward off interest and secure his long-term future. Despite the new contract, Broja has only seen game time from the bench this season, starting only twice for the club in the Premier League.
The Blues may feel the need to give him more game time and may let him go on another loan. Despite the striker’s new contract, AC Milan remain interested in him, but any move is fraught with complications.
If reports are to be believed, Chelsea were willing to let him leave for €35 million. However, new owner Todd Boehly believes in the attacker and may not allow any immediate action.
However, if Chelsea is incentivized to allow Broja to leave, particularly to AC Milan, things could get complicated. The Blues are seriously interested in Rafael Leao and may allow the Albanian to join if it helps them land the Portuguese forward.
Chelsea is willing to hold talks with Milan to explore various options, but only a loan deal appears to be viable at the moment. Milan is still looking for a permanent signing to add variety to their attacking third.
Furthermore, the Blues are interested in a number of high-profile targets to bolster their attacking lineup, which could push the striker down the pecking order. As a result, a loan agreement would benefit all parties, including Broja.
