Napoli president De Laurentiis asked Chelsea for Broja in Koulibaly talks

Napoli are eyeing Chelsea striker Armando Broja.

Broja's future at Chelsea is in doubt after last season's loan with Southampton. The Albania international has flown out to join Chelsea's tour squad in the US this week.

Il Mattino says Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is a big fan of Broja and spoke to Chelsea about his status during the negotiations for the £34million (€40m) sale of Kalidou Koulibaly.

Napoli are now looking at a potential loan move for Broja after failing to include him in the Koulibaly deal.

The Albania international has made just one first-team appearance for Chelsea but is currently contracted to the club until 2026 having signed a new long-term deal last summer before heading out on loan to St Mary's.
