Chelsea open to selling Armando Broja amid Juventus interest
In a surprising turn of events, Chelsea is reportedly open to selling their young striker, Armando Broja, during this summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old, who made his competitive debut for the Blues in 2020, has struggled to cement his place in the first team.
After a half-season loan to Fulham in the latter part of the 2023-24 campaign, Broja’s impact was minimal, featuring in eight Premier League matches and providing a single assist.
Despite these challenges, his potential has not gone unnoticed, particularly by clubs in Serie A.
Italian giants Juventus have emerged as a keen suitor, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Old Lady, currently in search of a new center-forward following Moise Kean’s transfer to Fiorentina, see Broja as a viable option to strengthen their attacking lineup for the 2024-25 season.
While Chelsea has yet to receive a concrete offer for Broja, they are actively looking to offload the young striker.
The Blues’ new manager, Enzo Maresca, already has Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku at his disposal but is on the lookout for a top-tier striker.
The club has set its sights on Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and is exploring a swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku. However, Osimhen’s interest in joining Chelsea remains uncertain.
Chelsea, who finished sixth in the Premier League last season, will miss out on Champions League action in the upcoming campaign.
This development might influence their transfer strategies as they aim to rebuild and strengthen their squad for a more successful season ahead.
Broja’s future hangs in the balance, and the coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether he will don the black and white stripes of Juventus or continue his journey elsewhere.
