Chelsea player confirms he has three transfer options ahead of potential £25m departure

Chelsea striker Armando Broja has confirmed he’s not short on offers but hinted he’ll take his time to decide his next move, having been strongly linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge this summer.

The London-born Albanian striker spent the second half of last season out on loan at Fulham, but it appears his price is high for the Cottagers, with LondonWorld being told Chelsea are looking for a fee of around £25 million for his services.

Before he went out on loan last season, Chelsea valued him at over £30 million, but one goal in 21 Premier League games has meant interest in him has cooled, even though there is a general consensus that he could be a good signing for a midtable club.

Everton have been linked as a possible replacement for Dominic Calvert-Lewin if he leaves the club this summer. Premier League rivals Wolves, as well as Italian clubs AC Milan and Bologna, have also been suggested as potential suitors.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is on the search for a striker for Milan, and while they have looked at Romelu Lukaku, Broja could be an option if Lukaku decides he prefers a reunion with Antonio Conte at AC Milan.

Speaking after Albania exited the Euros, Broja admitted he was a fan of Zlatan and was flattered by the links. He, however, refused to rule out a stay in west London, where he has a contract until 2028. He told RTV Klan (via Calciomercato):

“I would tell him (Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Milan senior advisor) first of all that I am a big fan of his; I have always liked him as a player. Milan is a great club, second only to Real Madrid in history. I would tell him that I have to speak to my agent and family, then I will let him know. It’s true, I have offers from these three championships (Serie A, Bundesliga, Premier League). Staying at Chelsea? It is an option; I still have a contract with them that expires in many years.”
