According to the East Anglian Daily Times, Albania international Armando Broja, who joined Chelsea in his early teens, is on the verge of completing a transfer to Ipswich Town as he seeks regular playing time. Negotiations between Chelsea and Ipswich are ongoing, with both clubs ironing out the final details of the deal.
A significant aspect of the talks is the potential inclusion of an obligation-to-buy clause, which would require Ipswich to purchase Broja outright after an initial loan period. The exact fee for this clause is still under discussion, but reports from The Athletic indicate it could be around £30 million ($39 million). As negotiations progress, Broja is currently undergoing a medical with Ipswich, signaling that the transfer is nearing completion.
Since returning from Chelsea’s pre-season tour in the United States earlier this month, Broja has been training separately from the first team, while his agent has been actively seeking new opportunities for the striker. Ipswich, managed by Kieran McKenna, has been in the market for strikers after first-choice forward George Hirst underwent knee surgery. In response, Ipswich signed Liam Delap from Manchester City and is now pursuing Broja to further strengthen their squad.
Broja’s departure from Chelsea seemed more likely earlier this month when his No.19 jersey was reassigned to new signing Pedro Neto. Additionally, Chelsea is close to finalizing a deal for Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix, further reducing Broja’s chances at Stamford Bridge. As Broja inches closer to joining Ipswich, this move offers him a fresh start with a club eager to make an impact in the Premier League.
