Burnley are set to sign Armando Broja from Chelsea for around £25 million. The 23-year-old striker will undergo a medical shortly before completing the move.
Burnley are closing in on a permanent deal for Chelsea striker Armando Broja, valued at approximately £25 million, with the player scheduled for a medical as Scott Parker’s side ramp up their Premier League preparations.
Chelsea, seeking to free up funds for moves like Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons, are offloading fringe players — and Broja is finally headed out after disappointing loan spells and injury setbacks.
Broja’s Chelsea Exit: £25m and Moving on
The Albanian forward, who came through Chelsea’s academy since 2009, spent last season on loan at Everton but failed to score in 10 Premier League appearances due largely to injury | Sources. Chelsea reportedly demanded £25 million — and Burnley have agreed to meet that valuation.
Broja will sign a long-term contract with Burnley, joining a side in need of top-flight firepower after promotion earlier this summer.
What Broja Will Earn at Burnley
Broja currently earns around £40,000 per week net at Chelsea, based on contract details published via salary tracker services.
While his wages at Burnley haven’t been disclosed, he will almost certainly receive a notable pay rise, given his starting point and Burnley’s financial now available from outgoing sales.
Why Chelsea Are Selling — And Where Funds Are Heading
Chelsea are ushering out players to fund ambitious moves in the final stages of the window, including:
- Garnacho (Man United) and Simons (RB Leipzig) targeted next
- Nicolas Jackson also likely to depart
- Sale of João Pedro, Madueke, and others already completed
Offloading Broja helps fund the Blues' attacking rebuild under Enzo Maresca.

Analyst Verdict
This swap suits both parties. For Burnley, Broja is a young forward with pedigree and upside — ideal for their Premier League survival bid. For Chelsea, it frees up squad space and wages to invest in higher-potential buys.
At just £40k per week, his salary offload will help Chelsea balance books. And if Broja can stay fit, he could be a key player for the Clarets.
Key Takeaways
- Armando Broja to move to Burnley for ~£25 million
- Set to earn more than £40k/week at his new club
- Chelsea selling to fund Garnacho and Simons deals
- Burnley prioritised Broja over options like Josh Sargent
- Broja leaves after limited returns and injury issues
What’s Next?
Broja will complete his medical early next week, with the deal to be officially announced soon. Meanwhile, Chelsea are closing in on further centre-forwards and midfield pieces with the extra funds — and Burnley will look to integrate Broja into Parker’s squad ahead of the season kick-off.
Should Chelsea be offloading Broja now — or are they risking letting him explode at Burnley?

25M! We are the best selling club - unfortunate last season with his injury, but best of luck! I think he will do well with Parker as his manager
