According to The Athletic, the Albanian international’s representatives hoped his future would be decided before the weekend after holding talks with co-owner Todd Boehly.

It’s claimed more talks are planned with Boehly in the next 24 hours, and there’s a possibility Chelsea could suggest loaning Broja out for a third successive season.

However, Broja reportedly has no interest in sealing a temporary switch elsewhere after previously proving himself at Vitesse Arnhem and Southampton.

Broja has popped up on Newcastle’s radar after a move for Reims star Hugo Ekitike stalled recently.

Eddie Howe’s side were ready to pay around £25million to £30m for the France under-20s international before talks with Ekitike’s agent reached an impasse.
