Chelsea are willing to sell Armando Broja this summer and have slapped a hefty £25 million price tag on the countryman from Albania. With Broja’s Stamford Bridge future looking increasingly in doubt, Bundesliga interest has soared.
The 22-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham but failed to score in eight appearances. But even in that quiet spell, Broja still carries reputation of being one to watch for his potential, physical presence and Premier League education. Chelsea aim to comply with financial regulations and balance the books, making now the right time to cash in. They believe a timely sale could also help with squad clarity ahead of pre-season planning.
Bundesliga clubs in pole position
Stuttgart and RB Leipzig are both lurking, too, after both clubs made inquiries regarding Broja’s potential availability. Leipzig, having kept the seat warm for Benjamin Šeško, are eyeing up Broja as his natural heir. Stuttgart are in the market for a new striker, with Serhou Guirassy switch to Borussia Dortmund.
Clubs in Serie A and the Premier League have also expressed an interest but Chelsea’s £25m price tag has sifted the serious contenders. The Blues are not about to haggle much below unless the market completely cools in the next few weeks.
Chelsea aiming for clean exit
Chelsea are clear — they want a straight, permanent sale, and not another half-way house loan. Nicolas Jackson leads the line, while several young forwards continue developing in the academy, keeping Broja’s route to the first team blocked. The club want to tie up a deal before the end of August and ward off deadline-day madness.
Armando Broja, under contract until 2028, may be open to a fresh start — and the Bundesliga could provide him the minutes and momentum he needs to rehabilitate his reputation.
