Armando Broja's move to loan out with Ipswich Town from Chelsea is reportedly teetering on the edge of collapse. He is in pursuit of fulfilling his regular playtime desires after seeing the deal ruined by hitches with the paperwork.
Under Enzo Maresca, Broja thus far has had a periphery role, having featured sparsely for Chelsea since at the beginning of the season pre-season in the United States of America. Unlikely to break into Chelsea's first XI, Broja was mulling over a loan move to Ipswich Town, whose manager, Paul Cook, is desperate to bolster his ranks. According to reports, this deal included an option for Ipswich to make the move permanent for £30 million if they stayed in the Championship.
However, new claims from The Guardian indicate that problems with the paperwork of the deal could see the deal collapse. This unexpected difficulty put Ipswich and Broja in a precarious situation. Despite the mishap, Ipswich Town is still keen on strengthening their team. They have already made a bevy of signings this summer, pulling Chelsea's Omari Hutchinson, ex-West Ham defender Ben Johnson, and a raft of other top players, including Liam Delap, Arijanet Muric, Sammie Szmodics, Jens Cajuste, and England international Kalvin Phillips.
Broja has struggled to shake off knee problems over the last couple of seasons following his Chelsea debut under Frank Lampard, and that has limited his rise into the first team. Initial reluctancy to move to Ipswich in the beginning was overcome because, at the time, the move proposed to give more consistent playtime. However, with that loan now potentially off, Broja is now facing an uncertain rest of the campaign.
Ipswich's recent success in making the Premier League had kindled the ambition to improve their squad; therefore, it is evident that the club has great plans in their new season. All these raise a major concern as everyone waits with eager eyes to see the future of his career whether he does find a new way to make a mark in regular football or if Ipswich pass through their obstacle to make a perfect move.
This story is developing so keep watching for updates on how it will affect both Chelsea's and Ipswich Town's upcoming seasons.
