One Chelsea outcast is finally set for a permanent move away from the Club World Cup winners.
Chelsea sold Joao Felix to Al-Nassr during the week and are trying to offload more players before the transfer window closes.
The likes of Christopher Nkunku, Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell could all leave the club this month.
Armando Broja, who spent last season out on loan at Everton, is also set to depart Stamford Bridge in the coming days.

Armando Broja completes main part of medical ahead of Burnley move
While Sterling and Chilwell are not close to securing moves yet, Broja is one outcast at Chelsea who is.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed on X that the striker has now completed the main part of his medical ahead of his switch to Burnley.
After Broja’s exit, Romano expects Sterling and Nkunku to also depart, with Inter Milan being heavily linked with the latter.
Broja had a disappointing 2024/25 campaign, being limited to just 11 appearances because of injuries.

Nevertheless, Burnley fans are still excited about Broja’s imminent arrival, believing that there is a player in there.
The 23-year-old may not be the only No.9 who leaves Chelsea this summer. Following the signings of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, Nicolas Jackson could also depart the club.

How much money Chelsea are set to receive for Armando Broja
Broja has come through Chelsea’s academy, so the Conference League holders were always going to make a profit on him.
But given all of the injuries that he has picked up over the last few seasons, some will be surprised with how much profit they are about to earn.
It is thought that Burnley could end up paying £20m for Broja, which would be a really good deal for Chelsea.
The Albania international could go on to have a big future in the game. “The potential is amazing,” former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino said in a press conference (via Daily Mail) last year.
But to fulfil his potential, Broja probably needs a fresh start and most importantly, regular playing time.
