UNBELIEVABLE: A £30 million ace faces competition from Europe for Ipswich Town

As Armando Broja, a center-forward for Chelsea, gets ready to play Italy at EURO 2024 later today, Ipswich Town will have a tough competition from a major player in Europe.

A number of Stamford Bridge players, including Broja, have received calls up to represent their nations in advance of the upcoming international football festival. For the second time in the team’s history, Albania has qualified for the European Championship, and the 22-year-old is expected to start for them.

The 19-time Serie A champion AC Milan will send scouts to Signal Iduna Park in Germany tonight to observe the Chelsea striker when Italy plays Albania in the first round of group stage matches, according to a report from Sky Italia via Inside Futbol. According to the outlet, the Rossoneri management wants to monitor Broja more closely before determining whether to pursue him this summer.

Broja, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Premier League team Fulham, is being connected to more than just AC Milan. His stint at Craven Cottage was terrible, as he made just eight appearances and failed to score a single goal.

Simon Phillips disclosed last month that Broja was added to the list of prospective summer additions for recently promoted Premier League team Ipswich Town, as head coach Kieran McKenna aims to bolster his attack line with quality and Premier League experience.Subsequently, the Daily Express said that Chelsea had reduced his asking price from £50 million to £30 million.

Moreover, Everton and Southampton—where Broja enjoyed a successful loan period two seasons ago—have reportedly expressed interest in the forward player. However, if AC Milan’s scouts are impressed with him tonight evening, they may add AC Milan to their list of suitors.

Ipswich Town can afford to pay £30 million. The East Anglian team’s remarkable promotion to the Premier League this season will bring in at least £150 million in television revenue over the following 12 months, providing the funds for Broja.

The Albanian has had a difficult two seasons with Chelsea, but he still has a lot of growth left in him at just 22. The club may believe McKenna can bring out the best in Broja because of his natural ability to develop players, but AC Milan’s interest is undoubtedly concerning considering the Italian powerhouses’ financial might.
