Albanian marksman Armando Broja has fallen out of favour in west London and is set to choose from a range of suitors from three of Europe’s elite leagues
Chelsea striker Armando Broja is tipped to leave Stamford Bridge this summer and has received several different offers from clubs across Europe.
After failing to cement himself as a regular in the ever-fluctuating first Chelsea XI, Albanian striker Broja is one of the names likely to leave the club at the end of the summer transfer window.
Having recovered from a gruelling knee injury last season, Broja left in January and spent a relatively unsuccessful loan spell at fellow west London club Fulham.
The striker is currently not short of options, however, as it is reported that he has received three offers from other European leagues as well as being open to remaining at Chelsea.
Speaking to Albanian media, Broja confirmed the offers, stating: “It’s true, I have offers from Serie A, the Bundesliga and the Premier League. Staying at Chelsea? It is an option. I still have a contract here.”
Both West Ham and Newcastle in the Premier League have previously shown an interest in the player, but it is unclear who the English offer is from.
AC Milan are rumoured to have made the Serie A-based approach, and they have also been linked with Broja’s teammate Romelu Lukaku this window.
Idolising legendary Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is now one of the Italian club’s advisors, Broja has hinted that he would be open to a move should the call come.
According to Kicker in Germany, Wolfsburg could be the Bundesliga club who have shown interest in Broja, namely because former Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is their head coach.
Broja announced himself to the league during his loan spell with the Saints during the 2021/22 season, netting nine times in 38 games under Hasenhuttl.
As of now, it’s uncertain whether Wolfsburg is the club that has made an offer to Broja. The forward, however, is open to the possibility of staying put at Chelsea if nothing materialises elsewhere.
In 2022, Broja signed a long-term contract with the Blues that sees him tied down until 2028, so remaining at Chelsea is an option being considered.
The Blues have been relatively busy in the market so far, signing Leicester’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as well as cashing in on both Ian Maatsen and Lewis Hall, so time will tell whether Broja becomes surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.
