“Chelsea have” – Fabrizio Romano shares interesting update on Aaron Anselmino future | OneFootball

Chelsea have rejected a request from Borussia Dortmund to try and agree a deal for Aaron Anselmino according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Blues signed Anselmino from Boca Juniors in the summer of 2024, and he made his debut at the Club World Cup.

The decision was taken to send the 20-year-old on loan to Dortmund for the season, and it seems to be paying off.

Fabrizio Romano provides Aaron Anselmino update

Anselmino has impressed Dortmund boss Niko Kovac with a series of impressive performances, and scored his first goal against Bayer Leverkusen.

Chelsea are believed to have a recall option on Anselmino in January, but barring any injuries it’s hard to see them activating that next month.

Anselmino has put in some impressive performances for Dortmund.

Dortmund are believed to be keen on signing Anselmino on a permanent basis, and Romano has now provided an update on the Argentine’s future.

“Chelsea have denied a request from Dortmund to agree a deal for Anselmino,” he told his YouTube channel.

“Chelsea are very happy with his progress and are not deciding his future yet.”

Anselmino has made nine appearances in all competitions for Dortmund, but would have featured more if it wasn’t for a hamstring injury.

If he keeps impressing over the remainder of the season, he could well find himself as part of Chelsea’s first team squad next season.

Chelsea could sign a centre back next summer

The Blues have a number of centre backs on their books, but it feels like an overhaul of the department is well overdue.
