Broja is an undoubted talent but his loan spell has been plagued by injuries and one of David Moyes‘ priorities in overhauling his Everton squad will be player availability.
The £30m option to make Broja’s move permanent was inserted in the deal struck by outgoing director of football Kevin Thelwell but Everton have indicated they will not take it up, with Broja set to return to an uncertain future at Chelsea.

Everton want at least one striker as part of their huge squad overhaul and might require two if they fail to strike an agreement with the experienced Calvert-Lewin, who is in talks over a new deal at the club.
Midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure‘s departure was confirmed on Tuesday after he failed to reach an agreement on a new contract. He will follow Ashley Young out of the exit door after Sunday’s final Premier League game at Newcastle.
But with Broja leaving, all eyes will be on how Everton reshape their forward line, which has been among the Premier League’s least productive in successive seasons. Their goal tally of 41 is the third lowest in the division, with only Southampton and Ipswich scoring fewer.
Although a new transfer committee has been assembled after Thelwell’s departure, it’s understood that Moyes will be the driving force on recruitment this summer.
But it is a big job with some huge calls to make. Decisions on Doucoure, Broja and Young reflect a newfound ruthlessness at Everton, with the club balancing the dual priorities of targeting players who will move them up a level with deals that make more financial sense.
Doucoure and Young were both asked to take pay cuts to remain at Everton but have opted to move on.
