Burnley closes to signing Broa, Chelsea retains the buyback right

August 2 - The next stop of Chelsea forward teenager Armando Broya has been basically finalized. The 23-year-old Albanian international will bid farewell to Stamford Bridge in a permanent transfer, with the destination of Premier League promotional Burnley. The clubs of the two sides have held intensive consultations within the past 72 hours and have reached a consensus on core details such as the transfer fee structure, secondary share ratio and future repurchase terms. The transaction can be completed only two steps after medical and document signing.

Broa was loaned to Everton by Tuchel last summer on the grounds of "collecting Premier League experience", but injuries and tactical discomfort caused him to only 11 appearances throughout the season, including only 4 starts, with no results. Despite this, Kompany's Burnley is still optimistic about his height of 1.93 meters, ability to hold the ball on his back and counterattack speed, believing that he can become the fulcrum in the team's long pass system. If everything goes well, Broa will arrive at Burnley before this weekend and participate in joint training, striving to catch up with the first round of the Premier League match with Manchester City. Chelsea will add a 40% second transfer share and a £40 million buyback clause that can be triggered in the summer of 2026 to leave a backup for future frontline reserves.
