Lazio can secure Broja from Burnley on loan with option to buy

Armando Broja is back on the Serie A radar with reports Lazio are trying to get the Albania international from Burnley on loan with an option to buy.

The striker has been repeatedly linked with a possible move to Italy in recent years, but never seems to make it to the Peninsula.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sport Mediaset , Lazio have made an approach for the forward who turns 25 in September.

The only way they can genuinely achieve this is if he joins on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season, not an obligation.

Broja has no intention of remaining with Burnley following their relegation from the Premier League.

At the same time, the club needs to recoup some of the €23m paid to Chelsea last summer to buy him.

Markaj News in Albania insist that the full package for a sale would need to be around €10-12m, but the loan is definitely an opportunity for Lazio.

The striker scored just one goal with two assists in 26 games for Burnley last season.

Monitor whether the deal completes before Lazio's next match; a new striker signing could shift their attacking dynamics in upcoming Serie A fixtures.
