Chelsea exits expected this summerSlap €20m price tag on player's headBundesliga teams interestedFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Chelsea have received several enquiries from Bundesliga teams over striker Armando Broja. He states RB Leipzig and Wolfsburg are closely monitoring the 23-year-old, who is valued at €20m (£17m).

Broja has gone from being a highly-rated Chelsea academy product, who was valued at around £50m ($67.5m) just 18 months ago, to one who is seemingly surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge. The Albania international has had two unfruitful loans at Fulham and Everton, and now it seems a Blues departure is likely. Incidentally, team-mate Axel Disasi could also be heading for the exit.
DID YOU KNOW?
Despite impressing on loan at Vitesse and Southampton, where he scored 20 goals in two seasons, Broja has found the net just 23 times in 132 matches in his career at club level. He also failed to score in 19 combined appearances at Fulham and Everton and has just three goals in 38 Chelsea games.

It remains to be seen if anyone will bid that much for Broja, who still has three years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, or if Chelsea will have to lower their asking price to get him off their books.
