AC Milan set to complete up signing 22-year-old Chelsea prospect, talks concluded

According to a report by Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Armando Broja is the subject of interest from AC Milan. The Serie A giants are keen on signing a striker in the summer transfer window in the summer transfer window after parting ways with Olivier Giroud. And they are ready to step up their interest in the 22-year-old Chelsea prospect.

The Armando Broja story

One of the brightest talents to come out of Chelsea’s legendary Cobham section in the past five years is Armando Broja. However, the Albanian international has not received regular playing time with the first team squad. Although he had a great season for Southampton in 2021–2022, he has struggled with fitness the past two years.

Broja spent the second half of the 2023–2024 season on loan with Fulham from Chelsea. But in eight games for the West London club, the 22-year-old only played 80 minutes and contributed one assist. The young player’s fate at Chelsea may have been determined during his lackluster stint with the Cottagers.

After Broja failed to make an impression on the Stamford Bridge first team, the Blues are prepared to let him go during the summer transfer window. There are several Premier League teams fighting for the young prospect’s signature, so there is no shortage of suitors. In the interim, AC Milan plans to try to bring him to Italy in the upcoming weeks.

Serie A move on the horizon?

It makes sense that AC Milan is interested in Armando Broja. During the summer transfer window, Olivier Giroud, a seasoned French striker, will leave the Rossoneri as a free agent and join MLS. They are therefore searching the market for a striker, and their main objective is Joshua Zirkzee.

But Broja enters the picture because the Serie A powerhouses wish to add two strikers during the summer transfer window. There are expected to be discussions between the parties as AC Milan looks to increase its interest in the 22-year-old Chelsea prospect.

It will be interesting to see if AC Milan can beat the competition to secure Armando Broja’s services. The Rossoneri will hope that the talks with Chelsea progress smoothly to bring the Albanian international to San Siro.
