After Bashir Humpheys and Lesley Ugochukwu, Burnley continued to recruit another Chelsea player, striker Armando Broja. These are considered essential additions for rookie Burnley when the Premier League 2025/26 is coming very close.
The deal was officially announced by Burnley on the homepage. After completing the medical examination procedure, Broja signed a 5 -year contract with Turf Moor.
The transfer fee was not revealed by Burnley but according to SkySport, the Premier League rookie had to spend £ 20 million to have Broja. Specifically, Chelsea earned £ 15 million in a transfer fee with 5 million pounds according to the terms arising in the contract.
This is the 3rd player of Chelsea by Burnley this summer. Earlier, The Clarets has gathered midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu (23 million pounds) and defender Bashir Humpheys (£ 12 million).
With this contract, Armando Broja ended for 5 years in Chelsea. However, he did not leave too many marks while playing for the Blues. Over the past 5 years, the Albanian striker has only played 38 matches in all competitions in the Blues shirt, scoring 3 goals.
Last season, Armando Broja wore Everton on loan. Earlier, the 23 -year -old striker was pushed to Vitesse Arnhem, Southampton and Fulham.
Chelsea sold Broja this summer to purify the force, reduce the salary fund as well as avoid violating the justice law after recruiting a series of new factors for attacks such as Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens or Estevao. Not stopping, coach Maresca wants to welcome two more offensive stars, Alejandro Garnacho (Man Utd) and Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig).
As for Burnley, this team recruited 13 new players in the summer of 2025 with the goal of playing well in the Premier League 2025/26 after promotion. Before Armando Broja, Burnley signed a contract with Jaidon Anthony (Bournemouth), Marcus Edwards (Sporting), Zian Flemming (Millwall), Bashir Humphreys (Chelsea), Max Weiss (Karlsruher), Quilililidschy Hartman (Feyenoord), Axel TuanzeBe (ipschebe Town), Loum Tchaouna (Lazio), Kyle Walker (Man City), Jacob Bruun Larsen (Stuttgart), Lesley Ugochukwu (Chelsea) and Martin Dubravka (Newcastle).
