Parma and Udinese Target Broja Ahead of Summer Window

Burnley striker broja is back on the radar of Parma and Udinese ahead of the summer transfer window. The 24-year-old has had an underwhelming first season at Turf Moor, and a move could give Burnley a different attacking option once the window opens.

Broja’s Burnley Return

Burnley signed Armando Broja from Chelsea last summer, but his first months in Lancashire have been interrupted by injury and limited output. He has played 23 Premier League games and scored one goal, a return that leaves his situation open as Burnley prepare for a new manager soon.

Friday evening offered one more sign of how unsettled his role has become: Burnley named him on the bench for the trip to face Leeds United. That selection came against the backdrop of interest from two Serie A clubs looking for a summer option rather than a guaranteed starter.

Parma And Udinese Interest

Parma and Udinese are both looking at Broja as a possible summer addition, and Burnley could allow him to leave on loan. That would fit a player who has already moved around the market before, with loan spells at Fulham, Southampton and Everton before his switch from Chelsea to Burnley.

His path is not new to Italy either. Juventus looked at loaning him from Chelsea two years ago, and that earlier approach now sits in the background as Parma and Udinese revisit the same profile from a different angle. Broja is an Albania international, and the next step could come down to whether Burnley want him in their plans for a managerial reset or available for another move.

For Burnley, the decision is practical: keep a striker who scored once in 23 league games, or use the summer market to reshape the attack. For Broja, the attraction is obvious enough — a move away from a difficult season and a chance to restart in Serie A if the clubs turn interest into a deal.
