Big moves are afoot at Chelsea as they prepare to send two of their talents, Carney Chukwuemeka and Aaron Anselmino, to Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund. Trusted insider Fabrizio Romano has disclosed the juicy details regarding these transfer agreements.
Chukwuemeka, who made waves at Aston Villa before Chelsea snagged him for £20 million in August 2022, was heralded as one of England's brightest midfield prospects. Despite his promise, he's faced challenges at Stamford Bridge, managing only 32 appearances for the Blues. After a stint on loan at Dortmund last season, he looks set to make his move permanent.
According to Romano, Dortmund will sit down with Chelsea today to finalize the terms for both players. For Chukwuemeka, the German club is expected to dish out an initial €20 million (£17 million), with performance-related add-ons included. Notably, Dortmund is also keen on embedding a sell-on clause, allowing them to benefit financially if Chukwuemeka flourishes in Germany.
Meanwhile, Anselmino, a promising 20-year-old Argentine center-back, won’t be making a permanent switch to Dortmund. Instead, he’s destined for a season-long loan, giving him valuable experience in the heart of the Bundesliga without option of a buy. Chelsea holds him in high regard and believes he has immense potential, which explains the decision to exclude any buy option.
Anselmino made waves at Boca Juniors, even drawing interest from heavyweight clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid, but ultimately, Chelsea secured his signature for £15.6 million last August. After a brief return to Boca, he’s gearing up for this new chapter in Germany.
As Chelsea wheels and deals, they continue to trim their squad, having already offloaded names like Kepa Arrizabalaga, Joao Felix, and Armando Broja. Players such as Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling are also on the block, while Christopher Nkunku attracts attention from Tottenham and RB Leipzig.
